Mastiff pet insurance

Why insurance matters here

Mastiffs are graded high risk, and the size is the reason. Premiums run $118 to $183 a month across ten metros, around $137 typical. Deep chests invite bloat. Gastric dilatation-volvulus, a surgical emergency, costs $2,500 to $8,000 and gives you hours, not days. A $137 premium is what lets an owner act in those hours without flinching at the bill.
