Miniature Schnauzer pet insurance

Why insurance matters here

On our scale, the Miniature Schnauzer is a medium-risk dog. Modeled quotes across ten metros run $51 to $79 monthly, median near $59. The headline condition is an eye one: progressive retinal atrophy, an inherited vision loss. So the Schnauzer case for coverage isn't one catastrophic claim. It's the steady drip of smaller ones that a modeled $59 plan smooths out.
