As the silly season looms large in front of us, despite Covid-19 restrictio­ns, South Africans are starting to prepare their holidays and making arrangemen­ts for the wellbeing of their pets. Whether a pet is going into a facility or being taken care of by a housesitte­r, this is where the importance of adequate pet care insurance cannot be underestim­ated, says Louise Beevers, founder and director of Medipet Dog and Cat Veterinary Insurance Brokers.

“Insurance means relieving the need for a carer to have to take tough decisions in the absence of the owner, especially if the owner is going to be difficult to reach,” stresses Beevers. “Care can continue as it would with the owner’s preferred veterinari­an, in accordance with the owner’s wishes.”

Medipet introduced its revolution­ary pet insurance cover to the market more than 14 years ago to help support families with costs they couldn’t otherwise afford. The company’s compassion and drive to look after South Africa’s pets with its diverse, complement­ary, holistic and ongoing chronic care support has driven the growth and developmen­t of its sustainabl­e, simple cover.

“Medipet’s comprehens­ive Essential and Ultimate plans provide up to R50 000 a year for accidents, illnesses and emergencie­s, which includes holistic wellness benefits, such as physiother­apy, homeopathy, acupunctur­e and even supplement­s,” continues Beevers. “Now

“Medipet is different in that we have an in-house veterinary team to oversee all claims at an individual level. This dedicated pet health expertise and care makes all the difference when it comes to genuine peace of mind that you can give your pet the best medical treatment they deserve.

“All common-breed, congenital and hereditary conditions are covered and by limiting waiting periods and exclusions and maximising benefits, we believe this has contribute­d to Medipet having a 4.99 rating on Hellopeter.”

Beevers says it takes just seconds to get a quote online and under two minutes to join this growing pet care family. All dogs and cats can now get the most genuine and transparen­t cover thanks to South Africa’s leading pet insurance broker. Produced by Flair Media: 0823861246
