Who are our proud sponsors?

Our friends at PupSak have long been one of our favourite local pet brands. We can confidently attest to the quality of their beds. A PupSak dog bed is truly an investment in your dog’s sleep and a safe space they can call their own. The best photo entry will receive a R1,500 PupSak voucher to spend online on the product of their choice.

Vondi’s Holistic Pet Nutrition is a brand we proudly support — not only for your dog’s holistic health, but also as a fully owner-run, female-led South African business. Vondi’s is hands-on, with food delivered to most major cities and stocked at good pet stores nationwide. They also offer a wide range of natural remedies and treats. The best photo entry will receive a R2,500 Vondi’s voucher to spend online.

Goofy Woofs produces some of the most fun and distinctive pet apparel, with standout collars and harnesses on the market. Another proudly South African, owner-run brand we are thrilled to be associated with. We personally use their collars and leashes — including the very first puppy collar we bought for our dog, which is still in excellent condition. Fully washable in cold water, they are practical, durable, and stylish. The best photo entry will receive a R600 Goofy Woofs voucher to spend online.

Finally, the overall best photo entry will win a three-night pet-friendly stay from HolidayDOG, with the choice of either Quince Cottage in Robertson or Barefoot Beach House in Amanzimtoti.
