Take Mariah Carey, for example. She spends over R400 000 per year on grooming her dogs; while Britney Spears spends R360 000 on animal care and thousands on pet sitting. Then there’s Oprah, who’s left R450-million in her trust funds to her dogs in case she dies! For many South Africans, the biggest cost of having a pet is not food or toys, but medical costs. Are you wondering if pet insurance is really worth it? Or, perhaps, you would just like to find out what the fuss about medical cover for your furball is all about. We chat to David Roache from Dotsure.co.za the first and only insurance provider in South Africa to insure cats, dogs and a range of exotic pets ‒ on everything to do with pet insurance.
