Understanding Yorkshire Terrier insurance needs.

Yorkshire Terriers, or Yorkies, are a small dog breed, considered among the toy breeds. Though they are generally healthy, they can still come with their own set of health challenges. The most clear being their delicate nature, especially with the small size of a Yorkie puppy.

This makes it essential to have a tailored insurance plan.

Common health issues in Yorkshire Terriers.

Yorkshire Terriers can face several health issues as they age. Some of the most common concerns include:

Condition

Average cost (UK)

Condition explanation

Luxating patella

£1,000 - £3,000

A common issue in small breeds like Yorkies, where the kneecap slips out of place, causing lameness or pain.

Surgery is often required in severe cases.

Tracheal collapse

£1,500 - £4,000

This condition affects the trachea (windpipe) and can cause coughing or breathing difficulties. In serious cases, surgery may be needed to open the airway.

Dental problems

£300 - £1,500

Due to their tiny mouths, Yorkies are prone to overcrowded or misaligned teeth, which can lead to plaque buildup and gum disease. Regular dental care is essential.

By investing in insurance at around £20/mo, you can help to ensure that your beloved pet receives the necessary medical attention without breaking the bank.
