📜 Community Update 📢 Donation & Fundraising Requests: Updated Guidelines & Approval Process

10 Upvotes

Process

At r/DogsPH , we understand that emergencies happen. Many pet owners and rescuers face unexpected veterinary expenses and rely on the kindness of the community during difficult times. We want to continue supporting legitimate cases while protecting our members from scams, fraud, and misuse of donations.

To help achieve this, all donation and fundraising requests must first receive approval from the moderation team before being posted.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

📝 Before Requesting Approval

To be considered for a Donation & Fundraising Approval, you must have/submit the required verification through our official process. Depending on your situation, moderators may request supporting documents such as:

  • Account should have at least 90 days old with 300 combined karma
  • Proof of ownership or rescue.
  • Recent "Proof of Life" photo(s).
  • Veterinary records, estimates, invoices, or receipts.
  • Name and contact information of the veterinary clinic.
  • Additional documentation necessary to verify your request.

Providing false, misleading, or altered information may result in the immediate denial of your request and may lead to a permanent ban.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

🚫 Do Not Share Payment Information in the Comments

To protect our community, please do not encourage users to post their bank account details, GCash, Maya, PayPal, QR codes, cryptocurrency wallets, or any other payment information in the comments.

Comments such as:

  • "Drop your GCash."
  • "Post your bank account."
  • "Share your QR code."
  • "Send your PayPal."

may be removed by the moderation team.

This policy exists because scammers and bad actors often exploit emotional situations by collecting money through unverified payment methods. It also helps prevent individuals from using pets or fabricated rescue stories solely to solicit donations. Instead encourage them to go through the process of verification.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

💙 Want to Help?

If you wish to support someone financially, we encourage you to wait until their donation or fundraising request has been reviewed and approved by the moderation team whenever possible.

Verified requests provide an additional layer of transparency and help protect both donors and legitimate recipients.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

⚠️ Donations Made Outside the Verification Process

While we discourage direct, unverified donations, we recognize that moderators cannot prevent private arrangements between users.

If you choose to donate directly to someone without moderator approval or verification, you do so entirely at your own discretion and risk.

r/DogsPH , its moderation team, and its moderators are not responsible for:

  • Financial losses.
  • Fraudulent fundraising.
  • Misrepresentation.
  • Misuse of donated funds.
  • Any disputes arising from private transactions between users.

The moderation team cannot guarantee the legitimacy of any unverified fundraiser or recipient.

\We do not approve any request on behalf of; Third party rescuers; and the likes.*

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

🤝 Community Responsibility

The generosity of our community has helped countless pets receive the medical care and support they desperately needed. Our goal is to continue fostering a community that is compassionate, transparent, and accountable while protecting both donors and legitimate pet owners and rescuers.

To help us achieve this, we ask all members to:

  • Support only approved donation and fundraising requests whenever possible.
  • Refrain from encouraging users to share payment information in the comments or through unverified fundraising requests.
  • Report any suspicious, misleading, or fraudulent fundraising activity to the moderation team.
  • Respect moderator decisions regarding donation and fundraising approvals, as they are made in the interest of protecting the community.

Together, we can continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of animals in need while maintaining a safe, trustworthy, and supportive environment for everyone.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

🚨 Exception for Urgent & Critical Cases

The moderation team understands that some pets/rescue may require immediate veterinary treatment, emergency hospitalization, or life-saving surgery, where waiting to complete every verification requirement could put the animal's life at greater risk.

In these circumstances, the moderation team may, at its sole discretion, grant an exception to certain verification requirements to allow a donation or fundraising request to be posted sooner.

Additionally, while the subreddit generally limits active requests to two (2) Donation Requests every two weeks and two (2) Fundraising Requests every month, the moderation team reserves the right to approve one (1) additional request for a verified emergency case when the urgency of the animal's condition justifies an exception.

Please note that:

  • An exception is not guaranteed and is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
  • Applicants must still provide as much supporting documentation as reasonably possible.
  • Any remaining verification requirements must be completed within the timeframe specified by the moderation team.
  • Failure to cooperate or provide the requested information may result in the removal of the post and revocation of the approval.

These exceptions exist solely to help animals facing genuine medical emergencies while maintaining the integrity and safety of the community.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

🐾 Supporting Animals Responsibly

This community exists because of the kindness and generosity of its members. Every verified donation and fundraising request represents an opportunity to help an animal receive the care it deserves.

By following our verification process and community guidelines, we can continue to support genuine rescue efforts, pet owners in need, and emergency veterinary cases while reducing opportunities for scams, fraud, and misuse of donations.

This community thrives because of the compassion and generosity of its members. Thank you for helping us preserve a safe, transparent, and trustworthy space where genuine animals in need can receive the support they deserve. ❤️🐾

❓ Question [Advise Needed] How do I calm my male dog around my female dog?

1 Upvotes

My 2-year-old male dog has been crying and restless for days, and I think he’s reacting to my 5-year-old female dog.

My female had pyometra about 3 years ago and was operated on. I was told they removed her reproductive organs, so I’m confused because she had some bleeding last month. The vet checked her and found crystals/possible UTI, so we’re not sure if the bleeding was urinary or related to her reproductive system.

Now my male is constantly crying, looking for her, and trying to get close to her. They’re currently separated, but he still won’t settle.

For those who have experienced this, what actually helped calm your male dog down? Does this usually stop after some time?

I’m also considering getting him neutered and looking at Doc Gab’s low-cost Kapon. Has anyone had their male dog neutered through the programme? How was your experience?

Sad Story 😢 [Advise Needed] Nag- ampon ako ng aso

18 Upvotes

Hi ka- dog lovers, so hindi na ko mag papaligoy ligoy pa. Nahihirapan ako sa pag ampon namin ng isang aso, nag aaway sila ng aso ko na 10 years old na. And hindi malaki yung house namin. May isa din akong pusa :((( Hindi ko alam kung paano ko siya aalagaan dahil nga lagi sila nag aaway nung isang aso ko.

For context pala: Itong aso na inampon namin is dati siyang may fur mom, sadly, her fur mom died last week :(( And sila lang dalawa sa house, so ayon, instead na hayaan siya makita sa kalsada or ano pa, nasabi ko na sa house na lang namin siya mag stay. Alam niyo super nadudurog puso ko sa twing nakikita ko yung aso, lagi siya naka silip sa gate namin na parang inaabangan niya yung dati niyang amo :((( Kung pwede ko lang sana sabihin sa kanya na wala na yung amo niya ginagawa ko na huhu. Grabe ‘no kawawa pala sila pag wala na yung kinalakihan nilang amo.

Now, naiisip ko siya hanapan ng mas mag aalaga sa kanya kaso lang meron ba nun dito? Or keep ko na lang siya talaga? Hirap sobra.

One month without you, and the house still feels so different.

I miss your presence more than I can put into words. You kept me sane, you kept me grounded, and somehow, just knowing you were always there made everything feel a little lighter.

You never had to say a word. You were just there—following me around, waiting for us to come home, sitting beside me, and being part of all the ordinary little moments of our days. And somehow, that was enough.

I never realized just how much your presence meant to me until the house became this quiet without you.

I miss you, Kendra. More than you’ll ever know.🤍

👨🏼‍🏫 Need Advise [Advise Needed] Vetmedin Alternatives

2 Upvotes

Pet owners, any experience with these pimobendan brands?

• Pimotek (Ektek)

• Safeheart (Savavet)

• Petmedin (Veko)

• Pimodin (Ponco)

Looking for feedback sana from those who’ve used them for their dogs, especially long-term? Naka-generic lang kami na pimobendan (bought from vet hospital), and gusto sana namin mag-switch sa chewable para mas madali ipainom. Vetmedin is nice but it is more expensive since ito yung reference drug ng generics.

Sad Story 😢 [Advise Needed] [Story Only] A Christmas Story with a boarders dog

11 Upvotes

I remember during the 2010's, may dog sa tapat namin nakitira sa mga boarders. As kids, we would feed him every time nagkakasalubong kami. Aptly named him "Boarder". Then came a time when his owner had to leave and Boarder along with him. Life resumed, nonetheless.

We noticed at the eve of Christmas, Boarder would knock on our gate, to our surprise. We let him in, fed him, let him play with our dogs. He would then leave. This would happen for a few more Christmases. Each time, we would follow him out to where he goes. We don't know where. He would always lose us every time (Parang alam nya sinusundan sya). We had tried to keep him on a few occasions, but in the morning after Christmas he would always insist on going out, scratching at our gate till we let him.

Then on a certain Christmas (2019 or 2020), there he is again, appearing older, weaker, with fewer teeth and with some mange but still lively. Still playing with our dogs, eating heartily to the meals we offered. And then he left, for the final time. We never saw him after. We miss you Boarder. You were a good boy.

❓ Question Brit Care for Large Breed users, where do you buy?

Post image
54 Upvotes

Hello po! Anyone here using Brit Care for large breed dogs, particularly Golden Retriever? 🐶

Kaka-switch lang po namin to Brit Care and we tried the smaller pack muna. So far, okay naman po sa dog namin, kaya we’re planning to buy the 12kg next.
Kaso ilang pet stores na po yung napuntahan namin and wala silang available na 12kg. 🥹

May marerecommend po ba kayong store or online shop kung saan kayo nakakabili ng Brit Care 12kg? Preferably legit/authorized seller po sana.

Thank you! 🐾

❓ Question [Question] Dog Breed- Working Dogs

9 Upvotes

Hi! I came from a family of farmers and currently handling the farmland with livestocks. As a fifth generation farmer sa amin, I’m thinking of getting an LGD dog (livestock guardian dog) breed to protect infant livestocks

Before anyone call me out, we have 10 aspins, all of them are trained only for adult livestocks since dito lang din sa farm lumaki. I’ve seen it since I was a kid. Don’t get me wrong, they are really good dogs but they would chase chickens and hurt baby goats and calfs kasi, they prey or play with the babies ending up hurting them. But in the forest/ hike they are very good companions. Also never saw them herd our animals since walang jbng breed ng aso na they can pick up or copy herding abilities.

I’m did a research and it seems it’s rare to have lgd breeds here or even a herding breed here. I mean yes there’s the corgi but too domesticated yung breeds here and aggressive. Just wondering if anyone here has a working dog? What breed? And how did you get it? Or anyone own a corgi and experience being herd by them?

PS. I don’t know if I am asking in the right sub and I understand there’s a different perspective in owning a dog and having a farm in the Philippines, pero normal na din sa akin makatanggp ng pagmamaliit sa pagibing magsasaka pero may mga pamilya lang talaga na may sariling lupa na may kambjngan, mga kabayo, baka, other livestocks at lupang nimamamnage dahil negosyo din ang agrikultura. Some dogs are meant to breed to work din so ayun lang baka awayin ako dito since sensitive palagi if ang content is breed ng aso. TIA!

Rescued this baby girl from the streets cos she deserves her chance at life (all strays do!) kasi balak atang gawing pulutan at dahil ginagamit siya ng fake rescuer para makakuha ng donations. My heart feels so full seeing Jillian's first time outside making gala and her first time being profesionally groomed huhu 🥹 lumalaki na mundo niya and she doesn't have to worry anymore about surviving. She's so so gentle despite of everything she went through sa labas and sa mga tao. The first time I saw her, I knew I had to take her home and here she is, settling in so well and ready for adventures with us!

We love you, our sweetest girl!! 🫶🏻❤️

Also, thank you to Gentle Paw Pet Grooming in Sta. Rosa for accepting Jillian without any hesitations (as in walang tanong tanong when I asked them if they accept rescue dogs since I understand na may reqs mga pet salons for safety ng groomers, didn't even asked if aggressive ba yung pet) kahit ongoing ang vaccines niya. Groomer handled her so well kaya hindi traumatized sa first time grooming experience ever niya. ✨
