Formatted contents note The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted global economy, not sparing the Philippines, resulting in the closure of many businesses and loss of employment. Since financial concerns predominated in the midst of the pandemic, the welfare of pets, and the status of small animal veterinary practice needed to be assessed, particularly in the province of Pampanga, where people religiously bring their pets to veterinary clinics and where many small animal practitioners thrive. This study focused on pet owners and veterinarians; specifically, their demographic profile, knowledge and attitudes, veterinary services availed/rendered, health protocols implemented, and clinic management. There were 240 pet owners and 52 veterinarians selected through random sampling technique and served as respondents to the survey administered through google form. Frequency distribution was used to present the results. For pet owners, majority of respondents were females (66.3%) with dogs as their main pet (56.9%), and some with cats (32.6%). Most respondents had their pets vaccinated (90.4%) and examined (87.9%). However, financial problem (51.7%) was the main barrier in obtaining veterinary services, leading to selfmedication of pets (62.1%); reduced veterinary visits (62.1%) and spending (62.9%). For veterinarians, majority of practitioners in small animal clinics were females (63.5%) and graduates of Pampanga State Agricultural University (73.1%). Even during the pandemic, veterinary clinics were operational, but had health protocols in place. Veterinarians reported that neither the number of clients (55.8%) nor their (51.9%) gross income had decreased even at the height of the pandemic. In fact, most veterinary clinics (58.3%) noted that their daily gross income increased since the pandemic because of an increase in the number of new clients (58.3%) and increase of consultation fees (27.7%).
