Your team doesn't leave their pets at the door.

Pet ownership in South Africa has outpaced the benefits packages designed to support it. Vet bills rank among the top unplanned financial stressors for working adults, and most employers have no answer for it.

FurSure is that answer.

The gap in your benefits package, by the numbers.

49%

Nearly half your workforce has a pet at home, and most of them worry about vet bills at work.

The category is wide open. FurSure is how employers get there first.

FurSure made it easy to get cover for both my dogs. I referred colleagues too. Submitting claims is straightforward and I’ve had no issues with reimbursements.

The app makes it easy to choose a plan and submit claims. I was surprised how fast I got reimbursed. Really helpful for our family and our dog.
