important info for all pet owners:
ways to find out you are getting the real DR and your pet will get PROPER care and medical attention:
1. Look for your doctor's credentials. they should be hanging on a wall somewhere. DO NOT BE SHY TO SCRUTINIZE. Look for the PRC certificate as well as the diploma.
Look for the BAI Certification as well. The Bureau of Animal Industry conducts yearly inspections on clinics to make sure they comply with requirements for surgical and non-surgical clinics / hospitals.
Even better if you can find a clinic that is a member of the Philippine Animal Hospital Association as they regularly conduct post-graduate seminars for their members in order to encourage continuing professional growth.
2. Make sure the credentials match the person treating your pet.
Some illegal practices just hang the diploma of a veterinarian friend and allows a non-vet or a non-licensed veterinary graduate to handle the patients.
3. Check your doctor's procedure.
Does he know how to conduct a physical exam? Does he ask for a comprehensive history of the case? Or is he the type to look and shoot? Does he give you info or offer explanations regarding your pet's condition? Or is he evasive and cannot answer your questions adequately.
Many unscrupulous persons abound, preying on the helpless pet owner, especially those that conduct house-to-house treatments or those without a proper clinic or establishment. Be wary always. PLEASE DO NOT PATRONIZE THE SERVICES OF NON-VETS OR NON-LICENSED VETERINARY GRADUATES OR UNDERGRADUATES. They are the ones who cause the profession to be marginalized and treated as an "easy way to make money."
We, licensed veterinarians have to comply with a lot of requirements and permits in order to be able to offer our legitimate services to the public. We have to undergo post graduate seminars and lectures to ensure that our knowledge keeps growing and we are not left behind current trends in veterinary medicine.
It is of course, up to you as the pet owner to find a vet who can understand and provide for your pet's needs. Doctors are not created equal in ability. As Champoy has mentioned, lain lain ug style. And of course, please do not equate "suplado" with being a poor practitioner

God did not gift everyone with a sweet personality
Doctors are not perfect and we definitely are not GOD. We do misdiagnose at times as we have to work with limited information sometimes (you know, its hard to treat a sick dog when the owner just says "Ambot lang, wa ko kahibaw, basta na-ana lang na siya.") or sometimes the owner refuses lab exams and we only have very vague symptoms and history to work with.
What is not acceptable is a doctor who is negligent! A sick dog is a patient and should be treated as such, not as a way to make a quick buck.
We have a group: Companion Animal Practitioners Of Metro Cebu. If you have any questions regarding the legitimacy of the veterinarian attending to your pet, do not hesitate to contact me: Dr. Ging Berdon 232 8002 (Animal Kingdom Veterinary Clinic).
