Our 'Kapon' Clinics

As the dog meat trade in the Philippines has declined over the last 10 years, our mission has evolved to meet a pressing new challenge: the surge in the Philippines’ stray dog population. We believe that proactive spay and neuter programmes are the most effective way to create lasting change.

Through our on-site and mobile clinics, we take life-saving veterinary care into the heart of the communities that need it most. By providing vital “Kapon” (neutering) surgeries, we are stopping the cycle of unwanted litters and suffering before it begins.

Beyond surgery, our clinics are a frontline defence against infectious diseases. We provide essential vaccinations—most notably against Rabies, which remains a serious threat to both animals and humans across Southeast Asia.

Our 'Kapon' Clinic Service in depth

FREE Veterinary Clinics

FREE Veterinary Clinics

All IWCT clinics are walk-in hubs where surgeries and treatments are provided completely free of charge. We support both stray dogs and pet owners who cannot afford expensive veterinary fees. While our focus is canine-led, we also offer spay and neuter surgeries for cats.

Mange Treatment

Mange Treatment

Mange is a parasitic skin disease causing intense itching and hair loss. It is a widespread issue for dogs in the Philippines due to the climate and high stray density. We provide effective mange treatment at all clinics, instantly and dramatically improving a dog's quality of life.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations

Prevention is as vital as the cure. We provide essential vaccinations, including the Rabies vaccine. With Rabies still causing over 300 human deaths annually in the Philippines, this work is critical for public health and animal safety alike.

Carabao Clinics

Carabao Clinics

Carabao (water buffalo) are the backbone of Philippine farming. We hold specialised clinics offering worming and vitamin treatments to support these animals in remote areas. By protecting the Carabao, we protect the livelihoods of the farmers who depend on them.
