Pugs are one of the most popular dogs around. Unfortunately, these adorable pups come with a lot of health problems due to years of selective breeding. That's why it's important to plan for the future and find your pug the best pet insurance policy for their medical needs. Read on to find out more.
Pugs are a severely brachycephalic breed (flat faced) breed, and are therefore prone to a lot of serious illnesses. A comprehensive insurance policy is possibly the most the ideal type of cover for your pug, since most policies have higher annual limits (with generally between $10,000 to $20,000 of vet bills covered).
Unfortunately, it's likely that your pooch will develop long-term term health issues throughout its life. While comprehensive policies tend to be more expensive, it is a worthwhile investment in your pug’s future (and your own!) as it limits the likelihood that you will have to fund the bulk of treatments yourself.
We got a number of quotes from different pet insurers to give you an idea of how much it will cost you to insure your pug.

Unfortunately, there are a number of serious health conditions that your precious pug is prone to. Several of these illnesses stem from their physicality, and are therefore completely unavoidable. But whilst it is upsetting to think of your gorgeous pug unwell, having the right pet insurance plan can ease the pressure and worry of the future, and knowing these conditions in advance will help make sure that your insurance plan is appropriate should your little buddy's health deteriorate.
