Rottweiler pet insurance

Why insurance matters here

Rottweilers carry a high lifetime exposure to orthopedic and oncology claims. One event can hit five figures. Osteosarcoma treatment runs $5,000 to $15,000, and a cruciate rupture adds $3,000 to $8,000 in the same dog. Against a $5,000-to-$15,000 bone-cancer bill, the monthly premium is a rounding error.
