CHOMMIES x MediPet: Protecting the Ones You Love Most

At Chommies, our philosophy has always been simple: We're for dogs (and cats) and the people who love them. Our pets are the ones who make our days brighter, our walks longer, and our homes fuller. And when you love them like family, looking after them goes beyond daily walks and mealtime rituals. It also means making sure they're genuinely protected when life doesn't go according to plan.

This is why we've chosen to partner with MediPet, South Africa's leading pet insurance broker. With nearly two decades of experience, MediPet’s inhouse vet expertise has helped thousands of pet parents cover unexpected vet bills and give their dogs and cats access to the best possible care. Because when emergencies happen, the last thing you should be worrying about is how to afford the treatment they need.

Why we chose MediPet

MediPet is made up of 35 women, all of them utterly devoted to cats and dogs, and to the humans who love them. One phone call to their Cape Town HQ is enough to feel it – the warmth, the laughter, the quiet understanding when things get hard, and the cheer when a pet thrives or a family grows. They carry the joys and the heartbreaks of their members as if they were their own.

At the centre of it all is Louise Griffiths: founder, vet nurse, and CEO. Louise’s story is stitched with love and loss. Skye, the gentle, lopey Great Dane, and Trevor, the Bullmastiff with the cheekiest glimmer in his eye – her first loves – were gone too soon. And yet, from that grief grew room in her heart for Matwilly: feisty, sassy, and the queen of both home and HQ. And her “little dah-ling.”

Louise studied veterinary nursing in the UK, and on returning to South Africa, she worked locally in practice. She saw the impossible choices some owners faced when the cost of care was not affordable to them, when love alone couldn’t save a life. But where there is a will, there is a way. MediPet was her answer - her stubborn, brilliant, tireless way of saying: “No pet should ever be left behind.”

Since 2007, MediPet has been making peace of mind possible. A team of top in-house vets ensures cover is kind to animals, claims are handled with care, and owners are treated with the love and respect they deserve.

With animals, their love is endless. Immeasurable. Unconditional. And MediPet is here to protect it all.
