Sheero’s UP Vet Med Teaching Hospital experience
I’ll have to admit that I haven’t been blogging much about my dogs lately. Sheero’s been sick, and I just didn’t have the heart to write about them 
Marc, my husband, and I normally bring our dogs to Animal House for check-ups and x-rays. My dad prefers the University of the Philippines Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital at Diliman, Quezon City for our dogs, but I guess we usually had somewhere else to go to after every vet visit that we’ve never really brought Sheero there. But last Wednesday and Thursday, we had nothing else to do but bring her. And frankly, we didn’t have much of a budget at the moment, so we really had no choice but to settle for a government-owned vet hospital.
Apparently, we made the right decision. Not only was UP Vet Med cheap (consultation is just Php100, approximately $2), but you’d be able to see that the vets are genuinely concerned about the animals. The fact that Marc and I are avid House MD (an American TV show) fans just adds a bit more fun to the experience—you see, the setting of the medical-inspired show was a teaching hospital as well. Lucky for us (and Sheero) that our vet wasn’t like Dr. House! 
Sheero had been feeling weak lately, she just didn’t have her usual bounce (and snobbishness), so the vet had her go through extensive blood tests. Turns out that she had an infection and anemia.
The medicines Sheero had to take were actually more expensive than what we’ve spent for her blood tests and doctor’s fees. It was less than $11 all in all. But the best thing about it, Sheero’s showing great progress. Obviously, the doctor prescribed the right medicines. My baby is getting better! She’s now slowly getting back her “spoiled princess” manners
A friend of mine had once told me that their dog passed away because of a wrong dosage of Parvo anti-virus injection from UP Vet Med. I don’t know, I guess it would just depend on the attending vet. Or if your dog was treated by a vet student without proper supervision from a certified veterinarian.
If you need to bring your pet to the vet and you’re near the area, you can give the UP Vet Med hospital a try. Just make sure that the attending veterinarian is there to supervise your pet’s treatment. Demand for one if you have to, but they’ll be more than happy to oblige for sure If your pet needs an x-ray or lab work, make sure you don’t go there on a Wednesday—they don’t have lab and x-ray services that day. We had to bring Sheero back the following day for her blood work. Oh, and yeah. They treat all kinds of animals too: dogs, cats, iguanas, and whatever you there in your house!
Hi! Do you have the UP Vet Med’s number? I’m planning to have my dog checked up. Ot maybe you happen to know if they do home service. Thanks…
@Bradwin: You can contact them at 928-54-36. I’m not sure if that works though, I just got that number from the letterhead of Sheero’s prescription. I don’t think they do home service, you might need to bring your dog to UP. You can ask them though.
The best thing about it is that students or interns are motivated to know and research everything about the case of your pet. They were given ample time to study the case and present it in a way everyone will benefit. Definitely not profit oriented.
hi!!!!… can you give me the best veterinarian doctor’s name in UP dilliman?… i’ve been traumatized by my old vets in mandaluyong… my 2 dogs gave birth and a lot of pups died and when the others got sick they can’t try to determine what’s really going on.. they just give medicines by not checking it deeply until pups didnt surived.. in short, they just dont care as long as they’re getting paid. help me please!!! im a dog breeder b english bulldog, pug, shih tzu and siberian husky…
@Xtine: I honestly can’t remember the name of the vet at UP Diliman, we bring our dogs to P & B Horseshoe Pet Clinic more often now. We only brought Sheero to UP Vet once. Although it was a pleasant experience, we had to bring Sheero to Horseshoe when she was in a critical condition because UP Vet doesn’t admit dogs for confinement during semestral break.
Sheero passed away at the P & B Horseshoe Pet Clinic, but I can tell you honestly that we were not traumatized. On the other hand, we actually trusted Horseshoe vet more, and brought our dogs there after Sheero’s passing. Sheero had a heart attack (a risk to the blood transfusion she had which we were aware of before going through the procedure). We visited her everyday, and it was pretty evident that she was well-taken care of. They even had people staying watch in the clinic 24/7 so the vets would be alerted immediately in case of emergency. Sheero even stayed in an incubator, which gave her heat 24/7. And best thing about it, our hospital bill wasn’t very expensive considering the treatment, medication and TLC Sheero received. P & B Horseshoe Pet Clinic is honestly the first private vet clinic I’ve tried that actually cared about their canine patients not just about the money.
I would strongly recommend you visit P & B Horseshoe Pet Clinic (it’s along Katipunan Avenue). Look for Dr. Leah or Dr. Froilan. You might even see Sheero’s pictures there
(we gave the vets a thank you card and a small collage of Sheero’s photos with a poem)
that’s true! i myself trusted P & B Horseshoe Pet Clinic.. all of my kittens are well taken care of with lots of TLC from their staffs.. i highly recommend this vet too.. this is the first private pet clinic that i’ve encountered with a very reasonable price that your pocket will not complain..

@jem
kung from philcoa po kayo dadaan makikita agad ninyo pasok kayo agad sa emilio jacinto street there makikita na ninyo sa unang kanto ang papasok sa up vet med nila
hi! how much on the average does a trip to the vet cost at horseshoe pet clinic? my shih tzu’s sick, i think. i brought him to dr. pangan in kalayaan ave. he’s great and really nice. the rates are really low (can be considered cheap) but it’s too far for me. Do they have lab tests and xrays like animal house? i’m on a student budget so i don’t want to get “subo” when i bring my pup to the vet. thanks!
@deanne: Consultation costs around P100 at Horseshoe pet clinic. I’m not sure about Xray (Sheero didn’t have one kasi), but I’m pretty sure they do lab tests since Sheero had to go through at least two blood tests. I’ve also tried Animal House already, medyo mahal sa kanila. My dog Harry had been confined there for about two days, and our bill was around P3,000 already. And to think they just gave him a few shots and an IV. Sheero was confined at Horseshoe longer (around 5 or 6 days I think) and went through a lot of shots, medications, IV, tests, etc. (she even stayed in an incubator), but our bill didn’t even exceed 5k.
If you’re on a budget, I suggest you just have the consultancy first since it doesn’t cost much. Ask them how much the tests will cost you and how you can lower the costs at the same time do the best for your dog. Just be honest with them that you’re on a budget, they’ll understand. Sometimes Dr. Froilan or Dr. Leah ask how you got there or something. If they do, just tell them you were referred there by Sheero and Shantee’s owner.
Hi, I’ve been hearing good raves about UP VetMed clinic and i’ve been planning to take my puppy there for her skin problem. Would anyone know what their clinic hours are? I know the students travel all the way from Los Banos so I don’t expect them to have long clinic hours. Whats the best time to take the dogs there? Do they have long lines like most “people hospitals” do?
@zafirlukast: Don’t go during weekends. The vet there says that weekends are when most people go there to have their pets looked at.
Thank you for posting information about UP Vet Clinic and P &B Pet Clinic contact numbers. I have a labrador that needs biopsy for a lump found on the side of his neck. He has been through a lot when he got poisoned from a contaminated dog food released in the Asian market a few years back. Our medical bill not including the maintenance medication was around 25K. We were able to get it reimbursed in the end after a lot of paperwork and patience. I was a little apprehensive to take him to UP Vet since a newly graduate vet’s negligence and inexperience killed our puppy 2 years ago when we took him in for immunization shots. Also, I am afraid that we might have to spend a lot of money again in a time when we can’t afford a lot of extras. Thank you again and God bless.
Hi, hope you can provide me with some help or point me to someone who can. My wife will be leaving for Abu Dhabi in about a month and we are trying to arrange for her pet cat to go with her for her 3-year work stint there. There’s a test, that they call Titer Rabies Test that her cat needs to undergo. Animal House charges P25,000 for this test alone. Would you by any chance know of other clinics or places we can go to for this test that will not cost this much? Thanks!

Hi. We were surfing the net when we came upon this blog. We work for the UP Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Diliman. I must admit that some posts have been cringe-worthy for us, but we will take everything as part of constructive criticism
Just so you guys know, the 928-5436 number has been dead for several months. We have asked PLDT several times to have the lines checked pero oh well… So anyway, our remaining OPEN line is 927-8915. The number also doubles as our fax number. btw.
Pero really sorry if sometimes you try calling pero nobody seems to be picking up. There would be days na we would really be swamped to be point that picking up the phone is not really possible anymore. Really sorry.
If you have questions you also may try emailing us at upvth@yahoo.com
I just arrived from UP Vet Med. The number 928-54-36 is working again as of this morning. My dog Bruce has twice the normal white blood cell count. Anyway, a guy named Gil attended to us. He was great. I hope they get more funding for supplies.
pano po ba pumunta sa up vet hospital from fairview qc kc may na rescue me puppy na may malakit sugat sa bibig parang nabingot kc inaway sya ng big dog.open kaya cla ng sunday
tnx
Yeah the number 928-5436 is already working. I went there 3 weeks ago for my pusacat’s check up hehe.. all vet’s there are very nice to animals. One of the ladyvet who took my cat got scratch by my graham bec he’s got fever and no appetite.
I would recommend bringing you animals there for check up as they are nice and the fee’s are really cheap.
I’ll bring my 3-mon old puppy tomorrow in UP Vet Med… ;p
Id like ti bring my 2 toy breeds there kasi may problema sa skin eh baka they can tell me how to deal with it
this may be a stupid question but does vet met close on holidays? my cat seems to have been poisoned and i’m bringing him there asap. does anyone have a number of vet med?

Hi KayeCee, Animal House has X-ray. Here’s their website: http://www.animalhouse.com.ph/
Better call them first so you’ll know if they offer x-ray services in the branch nearest you. Good luck, and hope your dog gets well.

Hi Ronalyn, Best if you bring your dog to a vet right away. The vet would be able to determine what is wrong with your dog.

hi Rhodora, if u dnt have much money, look for a public vet clinic like wat i did, im from QC, my dogs vet now is Vet. from UP vet Hospital.. they are so nice and approachable.. dpa mahal maningil… and try to read info. about how to take gud care of ur doggy, pra atleast my idea ka sa mga nangyayari sa doggy mo.. mga do’s and donts etc., sana maging ok na doggy mo…
Hello!
I have a one and a half month old puppy. Half Aspin, 1/4 collie and 1/4 Japanese Spitz. This is the first time after 8 years na nagkaron ako ng pet. Thus, you can consider me a newbie when it comes to taking care of pets. Can you help me on how to raise my pet? I am really excited!
My first challenge as a pet owner:
Bianca’s sick and very weak right now. Yesterday, I brought her to the vet which I just saw on the Yellow Pages when I was searching for a nearby vet clinic. She has worms daw and I decided to confine her since wala talaga akong alam paano siya aalagaan. Today is just her 2nd day in the clinic but my bill is already 4K.
I found out na wala pa pala siyang deworming (am I correct?) vaccines and other vaccines needed. I am planning to have her vaccinated at other vet clinics because I feel that the clinic where Bianca is confined charged too much.
So I want to ask which is better, UP Vet Med or P&B Horseshoe Clinic? The location is not a problem since I am student of UP Diliman. Sobrang lapit lang both. Hehe!
And 100php padin ba ang consultation fee nila? It was about 3 years ago, baka nagtaas na sila.
Natalie: Congrats with your new pet! Cheapest option is probably UP Vet Med, as most private clinics are more expensive.
Ms. Gail,
I think I have a big problem. I read that the puppies should be taken home when they are atleast 2 months old. I think my dog is only 1 month old and she’s all alone here. She should still be nursing from her mommy but she has no mommy. How would she be able to learn the things that she can only learn from her mother and litter mates like bite inhibition and proper social behavior with the other dogs? T___T
Hi Natalie,
The first you need to do is bring the dog to the vet. A 1-month old pup is very delicate, and might not get the needed nutrients to fight off certain diseases. They usually get these nutrients from their mom’s milk. Ask the vet what’s the best to feed them.
For bite inhibition… I’m not sure. We’ve been so used to having more than two dogs around that initial training has never been a problem for us. Probably you might have to emulate what an older dog does to show a pup when he’s had enough of the playful biting. Firmly (but not tightly) grab the nape to emulate a “warning bite.” Regarding social behavior… Well, best really is to slowly let her meet other dogs when she’s older. You can bring her eventually to pet-friendly places like Bonifacio High Street (there are usually a lot of dogs and their owners milling about especially during weekends).
Hope that helps. But note that these are only based on my experience with my pets. Best is to consult experts such as your vet.
Hi Ms. Gail,
Thank you for the advice.
Do you breed dogs po ba or buy them? Kasi iniisip ko po paano dapat alagaan ang 1 month old na puppy. The vet gave her dog food that should be mixed well with water. Pero ayaw niya po kainin yun.
Hi, thanks for this info. I’ve been really thinking of bringing my dog at the UP Vet but I’m still having doubts before, that it will just be like the other clinics we’ve been through since, I haven’t tried bringing my dog there coz the it is pretty far from my place. Now, with these I’ll surely go and visit the place coz I really need a good Vet, it breaks my heart to see Kodi (a Beagle) suffers from his skin problem. =(
Thank you so much
good day to all.
i would like to have my male dogs spayed. how much does UP Vet Med Hospital charge for spaying? Its quite expensive in private clinics. my male dogs are too active hence i need to have them spayed.
thanks
thanks for this info. I’m planning to bring my dog in UP Vet. ‘Cause he have a cloudy eye.. hmmm ano kaya un?>
I just came from our neighborhood vet in Paranaque – Bailey, our labrador has a wart on his left eyelid and it has been irritating the cornea. Our vet dr advised us though that before trying to remove it again (first occurrence was last Dec 2010), we may need to have it biopsy (waahhhh) after removal. So our vet dr also advised us to check first with UPD Vet Teaching Hospital if they have the biopsy lab services, before he removes the wart (again).
I read the several blog messages about UPD Vet hosp – both good and not so good experiences. Given that my vet dr referred us to UPD Vet, I will trust UPD Vet but will make sure our lab is attended to not by a student but by a licensed vet doctor.
In the end, I really hope nothing serious for Bailey …
btw, Php100 consultation fee is cheap! Other private places like Animal House is P300-P350. Support your govt hospitals !
lam nyo guys wag masyado maselan sa aso para d lagi nagkakasakit….dami q aso rot,lab, pug, shitzu, pitbull, mini pich, mini duchshund…. d nakatikim ni isang vet….pag kumpleto bakuna nila nothing to worry nah…basta pakainin nyo lang, ligo, walk…pag nanganak ako lng magisa nagpapa anak ako n din nag iinject hehehe tipid….nanganak shitzu ko 2male 3 female….still available with papers hehhehe
Is Up Vet Hospital ok? I mean given the pros and cons. My kitten has this long and pretty wide wound that is somewhat deep my vet could not sew it since her tissue is not that durable as he said it would only cause the wound to be bigger. And it seems she’s not responding to the higher anti-bacterial given to her. My doc told me to go to UP to run some test to know what really is Hayley’s condition. The vet told me she might have cancer since her would really expanded in just a short time. Though out cat is pretty much ok, she can still walk and really has a good appetite. and BTW she just had 6 litters, 4 died since our vet restricted her to wean, but we have been giving the litter pet milk.
Do you think it better we bring her to Up or the Horseshoe clinic? given that we have limited cash? thanks God Speed!
Thanks for the interest. We have the following schedules:
Mon, Tuesday, Saturday : 8 am to 5pm
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 8 am to 7 pm
We are now accepting confinements (even during sembreaks and summers)!
Since its a Veterinary Teaching Hospital, we usually have interns but all of the cases are being handled by a clinical faculty or a resident veterinarian. Most of the surrounding clinics are graduates of our Teaching Hospital. We are the only vet hospital in the country that specializes in the following areas:
Internal Medicine – Cardiology
Internal Medicine – Oncology
Neuroanatomy
Dermatology
Ultrasonography
Complementary Alternative Medicine
Soft Tissue Surgery
Orthopedic Surgery
Infectious Diseases
*In addition, the hospital is serving 60 to 140 patients a day. We continue to improve and continue to master our craft to serve our clients and educate the practicing veterinarians in the country.

Hi, good afternoon. I was wondering, does UP Vet Med handle rabbits din? Or just canine and feline practice? Do you know any other vet clinics that practices in exotic and small animals like rabbits? Thanks and God bless!
Thank for this blog for all the info about UP VET hospital. Coz it saved my pet Tessa (half labrador/ mongrel) from a terrible & fatal condition (closed pyometra) She undergo a major operation and survived. She was discharged after 2 days confinement from UP Veterinary Hospital in Diliman! thanx to DR. Rey and his awesome staff! The procedure and other expenses cost us about almost P5500 including confinement. Well the medical prescription is quite expensive about 2k but Its worth it, Tessa is feeling well and back to her old self again.

Ashley, did you file a formal complaint or at least manage to get the name of the attending vet? Is there any sanction for negligence or malpractice in the vet profession?
Hello! Tanong ko lang saan po banda yung UP Vet Med? Fail, taga-UP ako hindi ko alam / hindi ako sure. Nung nasa Ikot jeep ako once parang may nakita akong sign na Vet Med, katabi ng FA (Community Affiars Building yata, not really sure). Plano ko po kasing ipa-neuter yung mga kitties ko doon and get some anti-rabies for them as well. Thank you!

Hi Ashley, do you happen to know the number of UP vet?
dapat pala malaman din ng ibang mga pet lover na my animal law para di abusado ang ibang vet huhuhu…. madaming vet abusado sa singil at pag namamatay aso matitibay parin muka sa singilan… hahaha
i think i know the reason why the parvo virus manifested sa dogs nyo kahit na may vaccine. pwede kasing vaccine failure ang nangyari. pwede po kasi na maling time na naibigay or maybe ung vaccine ay di na effective nung tinurok. Maybe you may want to see this kind of angle kung bakit nagkaparvo pa. I know na kapag may parvo sobrang hirap gamutin. i hope po that you would be able to save your other dogs mula dun.
@Ashley. Really? When did this happen?
Kahit mga doctors from known and private vet clinics namamatayan din ng patient. Especially sa case ng Parvo. Maging alert na lang sa mga pets natin pag nasa doctor private man or gov’t. Kung may maling makikita, ireklamo at ipaalam. Kasi minsan kaya walang nangyayari dahil wala naman nag rereklamo sa authority. Kung wala man nangyari after ireklamo atleast you did your part. Imagine, sa dami ng patients nila iilan lang sila. Nakaka stress. Sa stress natin sa pet natin di natin naiisip na yung mga interns and doctors ginagawa lang din ung kaya nila.
Wala naman nagiging vet para yumaman. Vocation yan. Pero tao lang din sila na nagkakamali. Kung walang magpapa alam, walang gagawa ng solusyon. Mahilig kasi tayong umangal pero hindi sa right authority kasi ang mindset, wala naman mangyayari eh. Imagine kung lahat tayo ganon mag isip. Wala na mangyayari.
i have a dog mg 11 yrs old na sya. na diagnose sya ng LUPUS. ngaun nag steroids na sya. i want sana mg second opinion. anyone familiar about this kind of desease in dogs? sbi ng vet nya la daw kc test d2 sa philippines na test for LUPUS in dogs. pra sana maka sure ako whats really wrong with her. i dont want to lose her. i really love her. i want to bring her to a vet na cheap lng pro super galing.
I got my dog checked and vaccined by a vet of UP Vet Med teaching hospital. I got the 5-in-1 vaccine, anti-rabies, deworm, lab test and consultation fee for less than 1,000.00
Best of all, the vet who handled my dog was super nice. 
I will definitely go back for future check ups and vaccines.

Help! Nasagasaan ang 6 months old terrier ko, last tuesday, lumabas part of his rectum with poopoo… Rushed him to nearest Vet. Clinic sa las pinas. The doctor cut the portion na lumabas and sutured his anus… May bandaged sya sa left hind foot… He was discharged that night.. 24/7 ko sya binabantayan, he can wag his tail and stand up naman… Urinate well also. Ang problem ko, di sya maka poopoo… His trying to iri pero konti konti lang lumalabas in liquid sticky form… Naka prescription diet sya , soft diet and under anti biotic… I want to have him checked, kasi worried ako, baka malason sya pag di sya maka poopoo… I wonder kung nasa ayos ang pag balik ng rectum nya sa anus… I think he’s not looking well, parang nanghihina sya lalo… Please advise… Thank u…
Hello! I’m from cavite. Do you have an idea how much the xray costs? My vet recommended that we go there for my dog’s xray and consult for 3rd opinion as well.
hello po!!! paano po ba makapunta sa UP VET HOSPITAL?? taga fairview po ako… may dala po kaming sasakyan… ipapacheck up ko po kasi shih tzu ko pls help po tnx
Hi Jem,
From Commonwealth you have to enter the University Avenue then you will reach the check point (the pointed waiting shed we call “tulis”) then turn right. The first gate on your right is going to VET MED. Just follow the signs.
Sami, my mini pinscher, was x-rayed at VET MED. nasa Php350 ata, hindi sya expensive.. but make sure may licensed Veterinarian around lalo na pag emergency cases, kasi nga Teaching School sya, so mostly ay mga nag-aaral pa.
