Why Lhasa Apso pet insurance matters.

Lhasa Apsos have a storied heritage. Originally bred in Tibet and often found in a monastery setting, these watchdog experts are surprisingly playful around family but can be reserved around strangers.

Although they’re a hardy little dog, their temperament and coat care needs mean you’ll want a reliable dog insurance plan that truly understands their quirks. 

Certain health conditions such as cherry eye, dry eye, and even intervertebral disc disease can pop up in Lhasa Apsos.

That’s exactly why Waggel offers lifetime insurance where the level of cover resets annually, keeping your pet happy and healthy without sudden coverage gaps.

Common health problems.

Yes, the Lhasa Apso breed is known as a relatively healthy breed, but some common health troubles can pop up, which might require veterinary care or medication to manage.

Below is a quick look at several possible issues, as well as the estimated prices you might face at the veterinary clinic.

Types of dog insurance for your Lhasa Apso.

Type of policy

What it means

Lifetime cover

Covers your dog for new illnesses and conditions year after year, as long as you keep renewing. Great for long-term conditions and peace of mind. (This is what Waggel offers.)

Time-limited cover

Covers a condition for a set period which is usually 12 months from the first treatment. After that, even if you renew, it’s no longer covered.

Maximum benefit cover

Offers a fixed pot of money per condition. Once you've used up that amount, the condition won’t be covered again even if your policy is still active.

Accident-only cover

Only covers injuries caused by accidents (like broken bones or cuts). It won’t help with illnesses or longer-term conditions, but it’s often the cheapest option.
