FAQ: Can vet clinics in the Philippines be paid directly instead of sending her cash? Often yes, and offering this is a quick test. A real clinic can take payment from you over the phone or accept a transfer in its own name. If she insists the money must go to her wallet or a relative first, that detour is the red flag, not the dog.

FAQ: She sent photos of the sick dog and a bill from the clinic. Doesn't that prove it? Not by itself. Pet photos are trivially copied from social media or stock sites, and a clinic invoice can be edited or invented. Treat both as claims to verify on a live video call, not as evidence that closes the question.

FAQ: The puppy might die tonight. Isn't pausing to verify cruel? A built-in deadline that punishes you for thinking is the tactic itself. Real emergencies survive a ten-minute phone call to the clinic. If checking the basic facts is treated as betrayal, the pressure is aimed at you, not at saving an animal.
