Why do American Bulldogs need insurance?

American Bulldog insurance is not just about covering vet bills. It’s also about having peace of mind that your best friend can get help when they need treatment for conditions like hip dysplasia or skin allergies.

These dogs are famously robust, but they also have some unique health quirks. Although they’re sweet, loyal, and often protective of their families, they can suffer from joint problems or advanced genetic issues.

Having a Lifetime insurance plan like Waggel’s means you can tackle these concerns early, with a friendly team by your side.

Unique breed traits to consider.

Proudly known for being strong but playful, American Bulldogs are a large dog breed that often thrives on challenging games. Yet that athletic build can sometimes invite joint or ligament strain.

Some American Bulldogs are also brachycephalic, meaning they can have shorter muzzles and potential breathing issues, similar to their cousins like the English Bulldog or the French Bulldog.

Regular vet check-ups and a robust insurance cover help you mitigate extra cost when your dog is suffering from any unexpected ailment.

Comparing different insurance providers.

You’ll find there are different types of dog insurance in the UK, such as time-limited and maximum benefit plans. However, these can run out or exclude conditions once you hit a financial or time cap.

Our approach at Waggel is simpler. We focus on a single Lifetime policy that refreshes each year. This means if your dog might need ongoing care for a chronic condition, you won’t lose coverage from year to year as long as you renew.

Addressing pre-existing conditions.

Sadly, conditions are not covered by Waggel if they existed before your policy start date. If you’re curious how that works or want more info on pre-existing conditions, take a peek at our dedicated guide here.

 It’s best to insure your American Bulldog while they’re still young and healthy, rather than waiting until a diagnosis creeps up.
