The original owner will have to notify Rogz Pet Insurance of the change of ownership.

The original owner will then be required to cancel their Pet's cover on their policy and the new owner will send through an application form re-joining the pet under their name with new banking details.

The new owner will receive a New Policy (or Updated Policy if they are already a member of Rogz) covering the Pet.

The one calendar month waiting period will not apply unless there is a lapse in the monthly premium payment between Change of Ownership.

NOTE: There might be a change in premium due to a combination of different risk factors.

An Illness means an unexpected sickness or disease or any change to your pet's normal healthy state, which is not caused by injury to your pet. For example: upset stomach, skin conditions, ear infection.

Rogz Pet Insurance helps you pay your pet's veterinary bills so you never have to choose between your pet's health and your personal finances. With increasing veterinary costs and advancement in veterinary care, Pet Insurance is an option more owners are considering.

Our challenge is to find a healthy balance between providing the best possible benefit, while keeping the premiums as affordable as possible to ensure a sustainable product. With rising costs in veterinary care as well as more advanced treatment available to more pet owners, Rogz Pet Insurance reviews Benefits and Premiums on an annual* basis and if amended, these are implemented on 1st July.

*Annual/per annum/policy year refers to the 12-month period between the anniversaries of the pet’s start date. Benefits renew on the anniversary of the pet’s start date.

There is a one calendar month waiting period for Accidents, Illness and Routine and Dental Care claims after the policy start date. This means that if your policy starts on 1 January 2012, you will not be able to claim for any veterinary visits during the month of January. There is a waiting period of 6 (six) calendar months for cruciate ligament conditions. There is a twelve month waiting period from the start date of your pet for behavioural therapy claims.

Microchipping is not a requirement on your policy, however, it is an integral part of identifying your fur-kid at a veterinary institution should they get lost, and we absolutely advocate microchipping.

Like most insurance policies, we have some exclusions to keep your premiums affordable. These include: pregnancy, elective procedures, foods/diets, grooming, hip and elbow dysplasia, entropion (rolling in of the eyelids), ectropion (rolling out of the eyelids), distichiasis and pre-existing conditions that showed clinical signs before taking out the insurance.

Your membership will start on the first day of the month after your application has been received and accepted by us. We have a five day grace period: if you apply (and have sent us your banking details) before the 5th of that month, your policy will start on the first of the same month from which you applied. e.g. If you apply on 3rd February, your policy will start 01 February. If you apply on 6th February, your policy will start 01 March.

You have 60 days after the date of treatment to submit a claim.

Benefits are paid according to The Standard Rate* less R230 or 16.5% of the applicable benefit of each and every claim, whichever is the greater**. Annual sublimits apply and are available on the Rogz Pet Insurance Website or on request (, 0860 00 ROGZ / 0860 00 7649). There is no excess deductible for Routine and Dental Care claims.

*The Standard Rate is based on our historical claims data. The Standard Rate treatment list can be downloaded from our Website.

**Continuation treatment of the same condition within 31 days will carry an excess of 16.5% thereafter benefits are reimbursed at 100% of the Standard Rate for all Options. A minimum of R330 excess will apply for pets under the age of 13 months at the time of treatment.

No, there is no limit to the number of claims that you can make.

If your pet gets lost someone will take them to a veterinarian or pet welfare organization to be scanned. The scanner picks up the microchip number and shows it on a screen. This microchip number is then phoned through or sent by SMS message to the microchip company. Within a minute or two a message is received back with the pet owner's name and phone numbers.

Most veterinarians in South Africa are equipped to scan all animals whether they are pets or lost, abandoned or stolen. All branches of the SPCA, as well as Animal Welfare Organizations are supplied with scanners to assist them in the identification of pets. If someone finds your pet it must be taken to the nearest veterinarian or welfare organization to be scanned.

Microchips are as big as a grain of rice and are injected under the loose skin in the neck area. The microchip has a unique number coded into it and is read by means of a scanner. The purpose is to quickly and efficiently identify pets and return them to their owners should they become lost.
