December holidays in South Africa mean road trips, beach days, braais, boarding kennels, pet sitters — and a change from the normal routine.
Whether your pet is travelling with you or staying home, accidents can still happen. That’s why it’s worth sorting out pet accident cover before the holiday rush begins.
Why consider pet accident cover before the holidays?
Pets joining the family holiday may be exploring unfamiliar places, spending more time outdoors or travelling in the car. Pets staying behind face different changes — a boarding facility, pet sitter or simply more visitors coming and going at home.
The festive season can also bring additional risks. The Cape of Good Hope SPCA reports that pets frequently go missing during this period, with busy homes, visitors and fireworks among the factors that can contribute. Cape SPCA
What does pet accident cover help with?
Depending on the policy you choose, accident cover can help with eligible veterinary costs following an unexpected accident — giving you financial protection if your pet suddenly needs treatment.
Remember to check exactly what your policy covers, its limits, exclusions and waiting periods before you travel.
Going away without your pet?
Make arrangements with a reputable boarding facility or responsible pet sitter well in advance. Pets shouldn’t simply be left alone with food and water while their family is away. Cape SPCA
Wherever December takes your family, sort the pet stuff now — including their cover — so everyone is ready for the holidays. 🐶🐱💚
