In line with the initiative of the Provincial Government under the leadership of Governor Aris Aumentado to promote responsible pet ownership and control animal population in communities, the Office of the Provincial Veterinarian (OPV) conducted free spay and neuter services in the Municipality of Pres. Carlos P. Garcia on December 9โ€“10, 2025.

The two-day activity was held in the following barangays:
๐Ÿ“ŒDecember 9 โ€“ Brgy. Tugas: 2 dogs and 7 cats
๐Ÿ“ŒDecember 10 โ€“ Brgy. Pitogo: 16 dogs and 8 cats

These procedures play a vital role in reducing the number of stray animals and promoting healthier pet populations within the community.

This spay and neuter activity was made possible through the partnership between the Office of the Provincial Veterinarian and the Local Government Unit of Pres. Carlos P. Garcia, through the Office of the Municipal Agriculturist.
