Tagbilaran offers free spay, vaccination and more for pets

ANIMAL WELFARE! The City Government of Tagbilaran is really stepping up; offering free spay/neuter, anti-rabies vaccination, deworming, and microchipping for pets. This is a big help for pet owners and a great way to promote responsible ownership and public health.

AS PART of its continuous effort to promote responsible pet ownership, the City Government of Tagbilaran, through the City Agriculture and Veterinary Office (CAVO) and in partnership with the Provincial Government of Bohol and Biyaya Animal Care, will hold a free spay activity for dogs and cats.

The activity is scheduled on February 11, 2026, at barangay Manga covered court, and on February 12, 2026, at barangay Dampas covered court.

Services will also include anti-rabies vaccination, deworming, and pet microchipping.

According to City Agrivet Officer-In-Charge Dr. Carl Pradera, pet owners are required to undergo pre-listing or pre-registration for the free spay and ligation procedures.

Requirements include the following: proof of Tagbilaran residency, such as a barangay clearance or valid ID and strict adherence to pre-listing per venue.

Dr. Pradera also reminded pet owners that their animals must be healthy, have no bites within the last 14 days, and must not be on medication during that period.

Mayor Jane Yap encouraged all Tagbilaran residents with dogs and cats to take advantage of these free services, which aim to strengthen responsible pet ownership and ensure the well-being of animals in the city.

For inquiries and pre-registration, residents may contact the City Agriculture and Veterinary Office.
