Rottweiler pet insurance

Why insurance matters here

Rottweilers carry a high lifetime exposure to orthopedic and oncology claims. One event can hit five figures, with hip dysplasia at $800 to $10,000 depending on the surgery. Osteosarcoma runs $1,000 to $3,000 for surgery alone, and a cruciate rupture adds $2,793 to $6,417 in the same dog. Against that cruciate bill, the monthly premium is a rounding error.
