Insurance

I was thinking last night that I may have to call my homeowners insurance. Is that usually the case when you get a dog? I have really good insurance and have never had a claim issue (USAA).

I think it just depends on what kind of dog. I know that some insurance places charge more for homeowners if the person has an aggressive breed. My grandmother had to pay more bc she had a chow.

Yes yes and yes....At least call your insurance and ask....when I lived in Florida I always had to pay a bit more on my home owner's insurance policy because of my rotti; but at least I had peace of mind knowing that if something did happen I was covered. It may not change your insurance at all, but in my opinion you need to find out :)

Be careful... we were dropped from our insurance (Nationwide) when we tried to renew our policy - and they asked if we had a dog. We had a 190lb mutt... which we guessed was rott/GSD/Pyrn. When they heard he might be any part rottie - the agent would not talk to me anymore. Forget that we'd been on a Nationwide policy for 10 years already.

We're now with state farm. They do not descriminate for any breed. We had our "mutt" identified at the vet as a "burmese mt dog mix" anyway... which he could have been... he was, after all, a shelter MUTT!

One of our daycare groups cannot allow bullmastiffs to participate - but apparently all other mastiffs (including Fila's) are ok, since they're not mentioned. ??? Insurance people make no sense.

We have Allstate and they only descriminate if there is a city/township ordinance against that breed. We have a rott and since rotts are allowed in my town, they will insure us.

We tried to switch our policy recently to Progressive and they exclude rotts so we couldn't switch.
