Looking after your pet in Mazarrón
The Bolnuevo sandstone formations and three beaches that welcome dogs make Mazarrón's coast a good place to walk your pet. Playa de las Moreras, between Bolnuevo and Puerto de Mazarrón, is the best-known; you can also try El Gachero or Las Cobaticas, though access to the latter is difficult. Your main concern should be heartworm, spread by mosquitoes and more common here than in most of Spain: monthly prevention and a yearly antigen test are advised. Leishmaniosis and summer heat also call for care.
If your animal arrives from another region or country with an incompatible identifier, a new microchip must be implanted within 30 days and registered on the Registro de Animales de Compañía de la Región de Murcia. With Petplan pet insurance in Mazarrón you can choose any vet practice in Puerto de Mazarrón, Bolnuevo or the town centre: pay the bill and get 100% of covered costs back, minus a fixed €45 co-pay.
