Great Pyrenees pet insurance

Why insurance matters here

The Great Pyrenees is high risk on our scale, and the size sets the modeled rate: $118 to $183 a month across ten metros, around $137 typical. Giant dogs, giant joints. Hip dysplasia is the leading cost at $800 to $10,000 depending on the surgery. A modeled $137 premium is what makes that repair a question of scheduling, not affording.
