OBSERVING PET DENTAL DAY

UPLVS conducted its annual Pet Dental Day outreach with the AFP K-9 unit at Camp General Emilio Aguinaldo in Quezon City. The sorority wanted to give back to the community by keeping the dogs healthy.

“We chose the military dogs from AFP [because they], just like our armed forces . . . keep our country safe. [As] future veterinarians, it [is] our responsibility to keep them healthy and taken care of,” said Clarissa Grace Olarte of UPLVS.

The veterinarians performed routine oral prophylaxis on 16 canines who were tasked with detecting bombs and sniffing out contraband items -- in other words, activities that could wear off their teeth.
