QUEZON City is stepping up its campaign to eliminate rabies, aligning with the global goal of zero human rabies deaths by 2030.
“Rabies is preventable. Every vaccinated pet protects a family and a community,” Mayor Joy Belmonte said on Monday.
Belmonte said at least two rabies-related deaths were recorded last year.
In response, health teams vaccinated over 211,000 residents and more than 210,000 dogs and cats in 142 villages — strengthening community protection.
To make services faster and more accessible, the city government said it has launched the QC Vet e-pet registration system through the QC eServices app.
Pet owners can register pets, book vaccinations, and access services such as deworming, consultations, microchipping, and spay/neuter—online.
The city government also convened the Rabies Summit 2026, uniting government, private sector, and civil society partners to strengthen coordination, improve response systems, and promote responsible pet ownership, Belmonte said.
City Veterinarian Rey del Napoles said the city government would continue working with its partners to protect both the residents and their pets.
QCitizens may visit the official Quezon City Government or Veterinary Department Facebook pages for vaccination schedules and pet services, del Napoles said.
