SPCA Pet Protection Plan & Pet Legacy Programme
Protecting one of the family
Everyone who has had the pleasure of living with an animal knows full well the
love and devotion they bestow on us. That is why, quite naturally, we regard our animals
as `one of the family'.
As
with each family member it is not unreasonable that we want to take all reasonable steps
to ensure that when they are in need of urgent care we have the funds to provide for them,
and it is no different when it comes to protecting our animals.
For this reason the Auckland SPCA has developed an effective and affordable comprehensive
Pet Protection Plan designed to cover those situations that are likely to occur from the
moment they enter your family till the time of their (or your) departure.
We call it the SPCA Pet Protection Plan, and here’s how it works.
SPCA adopted animals - 14 day cover
From the very day you adopt your animal from the SPCA in Auckland you will automatically
be covered for 14 days, absolutely free. This is our guarantee that should your newly acquired
pet suffer any medical problem in the first two weeks at home with you, the SPCA will pay
veterinary fees up to $50.00 (this excludes accidents).
Exclusive pet legacy plan
Automatically included in the Pet Protection Plan is provision for the inevitable, either
the death of your pet or even your own death or illness. That's why this protection programme
is so totally comprehensive, providing as it does that peace of mind that is so important
should you predecease your companion animal knowing that they will be cared for after you
have gone.
Annual protection plan
When you subscribe to our annual protection plan, and retain it on an annual basis, your
treasured pet will be fully covered for those unforeseen accidents, those annual costs
that have to be met, and even in the finality of death. A simple system of refunds against
these expenses is detailed in the chart below:
