Protect your pet with Waggel.

Have you ever felt those sleepless nights worrying about covering vet bills when your adorable Bichon Frise falls ill?

Many pet owners face surprises without pet insurance in place, especially when these cheerful small breeds like to bounce around the house on zoomies and sometimes end up having an accident or joint-related health problems.

From understanding complex coverage to paying out of pocket, the stress can build quickly.

Fortunately, there’s a simpler way. By choosing the right Bichon Frise insurance plan, you can focus on your curly-haired buddy’s comfort rather than worrying about the next vet visit.

What makes Bichon Frises so special?

The Bichon is often described as an affectionate and playful breed of dog, happy to greet practically anyone.

Because Bichon Frise puppies thrive on companionship, they can be prone to separation anxiety if left alone for too long.

This joyful nature often makes them a perfect family pet, as they get along with children and other pets quite well.

Many new owners choose a Bichon Frise dog because they don’t shed as heavily, meaning fewer allergies in the house.

People looking for a companion dog love that these pups are so friendly, but it’s easy to forget they’re still susceptible to certain health conditions.

A solid insurance for your Bichon can help you provide the best possible care, so you’re ready for any curveballs that come your way.

Common Bichon Frise health concerns.

Below is a quick look at some frequent Bichon Frise health issues with typical vet fees, and how Waggel’s coverage can help cover the cost.

Keep in mind, these are average UK treatment prices and can vary by region.

Please note: Waggel’s policies do not cover pre-existing conditions. If your pet has inherited or previously been diagnosed with a condition, it’s worth reading about pre-existing conditions.

Remember that as of March 2025, the average cost of Bichon Frise pet insurance in the UK is around £25.00 a month. This highlights how coverage brings peace of mind when facing larger bills:

Condition	What to know	Estimated UK treatment cost
Bladder stones	Bichons are prone to bladder stones, which can cause discomfort and urinary issues. Regular vet check-ups and a proper diet can help prevent their formation.	Surgical removal (cystotomy) can range from £1,300 to £2,200, depending on the complexity and location. Dietary management may be a less invasive option in some cases.
Dental problems	Due to their small mouths, Bichons often experience dental issues like plaque buildup. Consistent brushing and dental care are essential to maintain oral health.	Professional teeth cleaning costs between £100 and £500, with extractions ranging from £300 to £400 or more per tooth, depending on complexity.
Diabetes mellitus	This breed has a higher risk of developing diabetes, especially in their senior years. Monitoring their weight and ensuring regular vet visits can aid in early detection and management.	Annual management costs, including insulin and monitoring, can total £1,500 to £2,500. Insulin alone may cost £50–£150 per month, depending on the type and dosage.
Cushing’s disease	Bichons are more prone to Cushing's disease, where the adrenal glands produce excess cortisol. Symptoms include increased thirst and appetite, hair loss, and a pot-bellied appearance.	Treatment can range from £1,000 to £2,000+, depending on the severity and required medications.
Allergic dermatitis	Bichons may suffer from allergies leading to itchy skin or ear infections. Identifying and avoiding triggers, along with veterinary guidance, can help manage symptoms.	Managing allergies can cost £200–£600 annually, including medications like antihistamines or immunotherapy. Severe cases requiring ongoing treatment may incur higher expenses.
Patellar luxation	A condition where the kneecap slips out of its normal position, common in Bichons. It can cause pain and difficulty walking.	Surgical correction costs between £1,000 and £3,000 per knee, depending on the severity and surgical method used.
Ease of grooming accidents	Bichons require regular grooming due to their curly coats. Improper grooming can lead to skin irritations or cuts.	Treatment for grooming-related injuries can range from £100 to £250, depending on the severity.

Note: Costs are approximate and can vary based on location and specific veterinary practices.

Because you can never predict when your pet is unwell or when a certain condition will surface, Bichon Frise insurance helps you cover the cost of extended care without choosing between your finances and your dog’s well-being.

Maximum benefit	Fixed pot of money per condition	If your Bichon Frise has recurring health problems, funds can run out
