Dog Insurance
Dog insurance helps cover veterinary costs for accidents, illnesses, surgeries, and chronic conditions. Dogs are more likely than cats to have emergency vet visits, making insurance particularly valuable for dog owners.
Breed Considerations
Certain breeds are prone to specific conditions: hip dysplasia in German Shepherds and Labs, heart disease in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and respiratory issues in flat-faced breeds. Purebreds typically cost more to insure than mixed breeds.
