Pet insurance is a security that should not be underrated or ignored, the importance of being able to take care of our pets and their health in their time of need is something that should be and that needs to be considered before our pets actually need it. Taking care of our pets and their future health requirements is however not something that we have to do alone. We, fortunately, have access to professionals such as vets and knowledgeable animal experts who can offer up advice and assistance where and when we need it. And with pet insurance accessing this assistance is even easier and more hassle free than it has ever been.
With pet insurance my cats and dogs are covered with a reliable promise that no matter what should happen to them, they will be taken care of by a trained and knowledgeable vet who cares about their health. So if any of my pets happen to suddenly fall ill or involved in an accident of some sort I know that with pet insurance behind me I do not have to worry about anything and I can focus my attention on my beloved animal and their well being.

Finding a Cape Town vet
The value of a good vet is something that should not be underestimated. If you live in Johannesburg or in Cape Town, vet assistance is invaluable to making sure that your animal is receiving the right treatment for whatever their health needs may be. So when you are looking for a vet for your animals ask around and find out from neighbors, friends or family members who live in the same area as you do where they take their pets. Very often you will hear about how great a certain vet is and that they are so impressive because they treat pets with general love and care. Vets do care about your animals and their health needs and are interested and dedicated to ensuring that your animal is given the best quality of life possible with careful attention their specific needs.
In bigger cities vets are rather prolific, Cape Town vets are easy to find and are to be found from the northern suburbs right to down the Atlantic seaboard to the Southern suburbs. If you are moving from one area to another you could even speak to current vet a bout referring your to one in your new area.

Animal Adoption
Animal adoption is a frequently talked about subject. Not only is it regarded as a noble thing to do at times, but finding your new pet is also a fun and exciting new experience. Choosing where to adopt your animal from is an idea that may need some careful consideration. You could adopt your new cat or dog from a private source or you could find a specific breed from professional breeders. Professional breeders contacts can be found through your vet, through their own websites, or through breed affiliated animal clubs.
If you are not too concerned about the specialized breed of your pet then you could even pay a visit to an animal rescue centre. Animal rescue centers take in animals that are found after having been abandoned by their owners, they take in kittens and puppies that are newly born and unwanted by the owner of the parents and the centers also take in lost or injured animals – so they are also a good place to start looking if your pet has gone missing. In South Africa there are a number of animal centers from the SPCA, TEARS, DARG and a few privately run centers by devoted animal lovers.

Labrador Breed Profile
Labrador Breed profile
Looking for a new pet and that extra special addition to the family means that you will take a few things into consideration before you choose your new dog. Along with the practical side of your available home space and the time you can spend with the dog you could also be quite particular about the type or breed of dog that you choose to take home with you. Labrador Retrievers make the ideal dog for home and family life – they are playful as puppies and tend to keep their sprightly exuberance right through into their older age.
Labrador Retriever puppies come in two breeds – the English Labrador, which is heavier and thicker and the American Labrador which is tall and lanky. Labs – as they are more affectionately referred to – also come in a few colour varieties. The best known of which is probably the golden colour, but there are also solid black and chocolate varieties. The Labrador Retrievers are well known for their amazing swimming capabilities, their strong muscular bodies and thick otter-like tails and larger feet all add to their attributes as good swimmers and energetic dogs that enjoy a range of good physical activity.

Pet Grooming
If a long haired cat or dog is not quite the pet for you then you should take a look at some of the adorable – and just as cuddly – short hair cats or dogs. This leaves you with the larger majority of the pet kingdom to choose from as most domestic animals fall into the category of long or medium haired. As with the longer haired pets you can have your pick of color and with the dogs you can still have the choice of size too. So choosing a short or medium haired breed of cat or dog means that you will not have to spend extra time seeing to the grooming of long fur and you can save time on the brushing and bathing and more regular trips to the grooming parlors. Short to medium haired dog breeds you could take a look at include terriers to short haired Labradors. While in the cat world you could look at just about any type of cat and find the short to medium haired equivalent, from Siamese cats to tabbies, tortoise-shell, ginger, black and a wide array of colors. You could, if you are drawn to them and are very serious about as little fur as possible, even choose to adopt a Rex breed of cat into your home.

Grooming Parlour tidbits
Choosing a pet that is suited to you and to your family means that it well worth the time to make sure that the pet that you choose to bring into your family is the right one. This means that you can consider the size of your home and garden space, and the time that you can dedicate to your pet when deciding on the right breed of cat or dog. Long haired animals such as Persian cats are gorgeous animals and are a delight to stroke and to have around. They look great and long haired domestic cats come in a variety of colors and breeds. This means that if you are drawn to ginger cats, or black or grey or tabby, bi-colored, tortoise-shell or any other type of cat you are very likely to find a fluffy and cuddly long haired cat in that color too. And if their coats form a combination of a few colors altogether their fur is then referred to as ‘smoke’. Long haired pets are exceptionally beautiful but they require a little more time and attention when it comes to taking care of their fur. So a bit of time and an occasional visit to the grooming parlour could prove invaluable.

The results are in!
Dear all,
The results are in! The question: how often do you bath your dogs?
28% say once every two weeks
57% say once a month
14% say never
Although your dog can lick himself and keep himself somewhat clean, bathing your dog is an important part of your pet routine. Not only is a bath a great way to keep your pet smelling and looking great, but most dogs can have a lot of fun with their owners when having a bath too.
How often should you bath your dog?
There are many different breeds and types of dogs, and each breed will enjoy different activities - the best rule of thumb to employ here is to bath your dog when he or she starts to smell a bit. Help them to get rid of the dirt and both you and your pooch will feel great. Be careful not to bath your dog too often, or they will lose their skin's natural oils which help to keep them clean.
Things to remember
-You should always brush out your dog's coat before giving them a bath, this will make the whole process a lot easier for both of you.
-Always make sure that you use a special doggy shampoo that helps to make your dog's coat shiny and healthy, and will help to replace lost oils or nutrients.
-Put a rubber mat in the bottom of your dog bath so that your pup doesn't go slipping and sliding all over the place. He may just think that outside is a lot more appealing than inside the tub!
-When bathing outside, choose a nice warm spot that isn't near any sand or mud so that your dog can stay nice and clean once you've finished washing him.
-For interest's sake, you can get a special dog towel that absorbs a lot more water than our ordinary bath towels do, and can get your pooch clean and dry in no time! This is the perfect option for stressed dog owners who hate wet dog marks on their furniture, or dislike having to bath a dog twice after he has just rolled in some dirty sand!

Animal Health
Animal health is one of the top priorities to all pet owners. Not only does your pet’s health affect your animal but it also has effect on your entire household and thus your family and their well being too. Taking your cat or dog in to see a vet for their annual check up is of vital importance. This is when the vet can pick up on any illness or possible problems while they are still in their early stages. Picking up on problems or any potential problems ahead of time is far better than sitting with a full blown health problem.
Finding any illnesses or other ailments in your animal’s health earlier rather than later will mean that medical treatment can be started straight away and you can save your cat or dog a lot of discomfort and even pain while saving yourself and your family the pain of seeing our pet very ill or in pain. This also means that by keeping a constantly watchful eye on your cat or dog you will be saving on medical and veterinary bills and will be able to save yourself from the anguish of wishing your had caught anything troubling your pet a lot sooner.

Whether our beloved animal is a cat or a dog we know that our vets are passionate people who have dedicated their lives and their work to looking after and ensuring the best health and medical responses possible for our animals.
Along with health specific advice many vets are now also advising pet owners to take out pet health insurance as cover for their pets. The pet insurance means that the vet is assured of being paid what is owed to him or her after having taken care of your animals well being and so gives the vet security as well your pet – who will be assured of health cover from a reliable and trustworthy vet, while the insurance also protects you in that your financial situation is not vulnerable to any unexpected accidents, illnesses or other visits to the vet regarding your animal and their health.
Pet insurance offers a situation where all the parties involved in looking after your pet will benefit. It is an all round win-win situation that keeps you secure, your pet healthy and your channel to good vet advice open.

Pet accidents
Pet accidents are the last thing that we as loving pet owners want to have to think about. But there are aspects that if we take the time to plan for that can make our lives and our animal’s lives that much safer and easier to maintain. Pet insurance gives us, as cat or dog owners, an added advantage that allows for timeous preparation for the unexpected and vital necessities of our animal’s health and medical requirements.
Caring for your cat and dog and seeing them healthy and happy is a large part of the joy of having a pet and whether our cats or dogs are in an accident or if they fall ill, it is extremely relieving to know that we do not have to be concerned with vet bills and with having to find the money to pay for all our pet’s medical needs right then and there. With monthly payments that cost as little as R125 per month for dogs and R115 for cats pet accidents can be financially covered and cared for. This leaves us the time to take care of our animals with full attention and focus when they are most in need of it.

Pet Kennels
Holidays are a time for fun, family and travel. But while you are off exploring the world your pet still needs someone to take of them. Catteries and kennels are often the best way to make sure that your cat or dog is properly taken care of while you are not around to feed and give them attention.
Most catteries and kennels offer both indoor and outdoor facilities, depending on your and your pet’s preferences. So if your cat is used to staying inside they can still have the comforts they are used to and an outdoor option if needed. Also if you have more than one animal they can often be kept together, this helps in them feeling safe and will ease how much they miss you and their usual home surroundings. Sending a blanket or something that will remind them of you or of home will also make their stay away from home a little easier while you enjoy your time away.
If however you are unable to care of your pets for a time due to illness you can have the same assurance that your cat or dog will be cared for by a kennel or cattery, or even a pet sitter which will be covered by your Medipet pet insurance.
Most catteries and kennels offer both indoor and outdoor facilities, depending on your and your pet’s preferences. So if your cat is used to staying inside they can still have the comforts they are used to and an outdoor option if needed. Also if you have more than one animal they can often be kept together, this helps in them feeling safe and will ease how much they miss you and their usual home surroundings. Sending a blanket or something that will remind them of you or of home will also make their stay away from home a little easier while you enjoy your time away.

Pet Health in the New Year
Going into the New Year we all have resolutions or at the very least an idea on improving one or two things about our living for the next year. We generally look at our health as a primary target for improving ourselves. And it is as important to consider our pet and their health needs as we move into the New Year. An easy way to make sure that our health is well taken care of is by eating the right foods, getting enough exercise and by taking good care of ourselves medically too. This also applies to our beloved animals.
We can make sure that they are eating the right foods, in the correct amounts while also taking our dogs for regular walks and making sure that they are getting the exercise that they need. But on top of this we know that there are certain things that we cannot protect our cats and dogs from. This is where the benefit of health insurance comes into play. For those unpredictable accidents, illnesses and visits to the vet it is a huge relief to know that while you are fussing over your pet your vet bills are being taken care of by your pet’s health insurance.
