Everything you need to know about pet healthcare and vet visits, and all things routine care!
There are some things in life that are important for us to prioritise:
- Having less stress in our lives
- Saving money in the bank
- Our furry-legged family members (and us) thriving.
You know, we’re on the same page. It is important to put your financial and health worries to rest, or at least let the professionals tackle the nitty-gritty of it all.
That’s why it is so important to put together plans, and because you have a pet under your roof, you need to plan for them as well! That means checking up on their pet insurance policies (or signing them up to one), reviewing their vaccination schedules and making sure you can cover the costs of their day-to-day life.
The ball is in your court, so let’s get down to it.
Why are visits to the vet so important?
Regularly taking your pet to the vet means you can stay on top of these pet healthcare priorities:
- Dental health and cleaning
- Check-ups for skin and/or ear issues
- Joint and muscle health
- Vaccinations
- Minor surgeries
- Blood testing
- X-rays/diagnostics
- Sterilisation
- Deworming
Visiting the vet means putting preventative care first. This blog post highlights the importance of vet visits and preventative care: Pet insurance that doesn’t just cover the big stuff but everything in between
Sometimes when you think of pet healthcare insurance you think of cover for the huge bills. The ones you get when your pet needs to stay a few nights in hospital for a surgery you never saw coming.
Most pet insurers don’t cover routine visits to the vet, which is why we’re always happy to let people know that Oneplan Pet Insurance does! They believe in supporting pet parents for the big, the small and everything in between.
Oneplan makes visiting the vet easier
The Oneplan Wellness Tracker
Let’s start off by introducing The Oneplan Wellness Tracker because this is the part that’s going to take the stress out of remembering to schedule vet visits.
The Wellness Tracker falls under the Wellness Wheel, which manages most of the features in the Oneplan App. The Wellness Tracker specifically follows your pet’s individual lifecycle by year and will continue to update from the start of your policy until the end. So, if you insure your young pup with them, you’ll have access to updated information throughout their entire life.
Better yet, you can have up to 8 different health profiles for each of your pets (you can have up to 8 pets per Oneplan policy).
You’ll also be able to stay on top of the most recent and reviewed resources. Did somebody say free dog articles? Yes, we did.
The Wellness Wheel also brings you “Locate a Vet.” If you’re looking for a new vet or you’re in a new area, you can find out the location, contact information, starting rates, and operating hours of vets in your GPS location. No vet networks means you’ll always have access to your favourite vets for quality pet healthcare.
Get paid before you see the vet
The one thing you can tick off your list is worrying about when on earth your claim money is going to come through. You pay out of pocket every month for Oneplan’s pet healthcare services, you shouldn’t have to pay out of pocket for visits to the vet.
If you’re keeping an eye on your money, getting paid before you see the vet gives you a massive budgeting advantage.
Here is how it works:
- You sign up and log into the Oneplan App.
- In there, you’ll see your pet insurance profile and a unique profile for the pet going to the vet.
- Load your day-to-day claim.
- We’ll receive it and instantly load money into your Oneplan Claim Card.
- Swipe your card after your appointment and upload a picture of your invoice onto the Oneplan App.
That’s the way they put money in your pocket so you can stay ahead of your financial goals.
Keep your vet
Change is an inevitable part of life, but your vet doesn’t have to be one of the things that changes!
If you love the current vet you have, Oneplan will never make you find a new one. They cover all licensed veterinarians in South Africa.

The best way to visit the vet is to get insured
If you’re serious about staying on course with your vet visit schedule and your pet healthcare plan, we can’t recommend pet insurance enough. You should never have to compromise on getting your four-legged bestie the excellent healthcare they deserve, so let pet insurance get you there.
