Comprehensive pet insurance for your Boxer.

Concerned about vet bills?

Have you ever felt uneasy about how much money a sudden vet emergency might cost for your lively Boxer?

Many Boxer owners get a bit stressed, especially when they know Boxers are prone to serious issues like Boxer cardiomyopathy or hip dysplasia.

That stress can grow if you imagine big invoices piling up. That’s where solid Boxer insurance swoops in, allowing you to do what you do best, just love your dog, while protecting your wallet from surprises.

Why is pet insurance important for Boxers?

Boxer dogs are known for their bouncy play, wrong-end-of-the-couch comfort, and tender hearts. But they also have unique needs. For instance, Boxers are prone to developing heart problems like Boxer cardiomyopathy, which can be pricey to diagnose and manage.

Because they fall under a sometimes-brachycephalic group (though less so than bulldogs), they can still face breathing difficulties. Add in the possibility of hip dysplasia, and you’ll see why a thorough pet insurance plan matters.

Working with a well-rounded insurance provider keeps you prepared if your dog gets hurt during a raucous zoomie session. Got more than one canine housemate?

Practical tips for choosing Boxer insurance.

Pick a suitable limit: If your dog has a known risk like Boxer cardiomyopathy, aim for a higher annual limit to help cover potentially expensive vet fees.

Consider extras: Some owners want insurance policies that include behaviour consultations or video vet access. Waggel includes this.

Set an appropriate excess: Paying a bit more monthly can reduce big bills if your dog becomes ill.

Review your renewal: Each year, confirm your needs haven’t changed. You can adjust coverage or switch your policy details.

Seek a supportive insurer: An insurance provider with real-time tracking and human help ensures a calmer claims experience.

For real life situations.

Imagine you've just adopted Hank, an enthusiastic Boxer who zooms around the house like a furry tornado. One day, Hank starts limping after colliding with a chair leg during his hyper escapades. A vet visit revealed a strained ligament that calls for pricey X-rays and rest. 

But you have Boxer pet insurance from Waggel, to help cover the cost of vet bills. Your dog had no pre existing issues with their leg, so you don't have to scramble for funds and could instead keep Hank cosy and entertained with puzzle toys while he recovers. You can rest easy with Waggel.
