Types of Dog Insurance for Pugs

Let’s talk about the different dog insurance policies you can choose for your Pug.

Umbrella for Life

Umbrella for Life is a level of cover included in all plans except for Economy and is valid throughout the pet’s life. Providing peace of mind, you’re covered and able to continue to claim for the treatment for on-going eligible illness or injuries throughout your Pug’s life, provided you continue and renew your policy without any breaks in cover.

Superior Plans

A popular choice for pet owners. For those who desire the best coverage for their Pug, these plans provide the highest level of comprehensive coverage currently offered.

These policies are ideal for dog owners looking for financial coverage because they provide the maximum benefits for eligible veterinary bills. The opportunity to add a range of optional extras to your cover is another feature of Superior Plans.

Mid-range Plans

The Mid-Range Plans are another popular option for Pug owners because they are more affordable while still offering high-quality protection for your dog.

If the unthinkable happened and your pet was involved in an accident or other similar situation, the policy plan offers financial coverage for eligible veterinary expenses. The Mid-range plans, which let you select your chosen benefit percentage, excess and co-payment limits, are perfect for high-energy and playful pets.

Your plans can be boosted, and you can select optional day-to-day benefits.

Safety-Net Plans

The Safety Net coverage is exactly that. Acting as a safety net if the unexpected was to occur, or an emergency arises.

Under the range of Catastrophe plans available, there is no waiting period for injury, with Vet Fee excess and co-payment options. The Economy plans available offer coverage for older dogs. Older dogs can be more prone to falling sick or have severe medical conditions.

Pet parents with older dogs are likelier to spend more on their treatment, but the maximum benefit coverage can help pay for these costs quickly.

A Pug is considered a select breed, refer to your ‘Select Breed’ section on your certificate of Insurance. Please consider the PDS and TMD on product page on our website, before deciding to purchase the product.

Common Health Conditions that Pugs Develop

Pugs are adorable, but their unique physical traits can lead to several health challenges.

  • Their short muzzles make them prone to breathing difficulties, especially in hot and humid weather, which puts them at risk for heatstroke.
  • Their bulging eyes, while charming, are vulnerable to injuries and eye diseases, requiring careful monitoring.
  • Additionally, Pugs tend to gain weight quickly, which increases their risk of obesity-related issues.

It’s important for owners to be aware of these potential health conditions to keep their Pug happy and healthy.

Why Pet Owners Love Pugs

  • Pugs are a loving and loyal dog breed
  • Popular with owners that do not have much experience with dog keeping, just like French Bulldogs.
  • Pugs can live up to 14 or 15 years of age, making them an ideal family companion.

Facts and Characteristics of the Pug Breed

The pugs originally come from China and are a result of local Chinese breeds crossbreeding with the Mastiff-type dogs in the other regions.

They have round heads and a rather wrinkly skinny, which is also a unique feature of these dogs. They reached Holland via shipping from the Dutch East India Company.

In addition to this, in 1572, pugs saved Prince William’s life by alarming him of the Spanish invaders. This also tied the pugs permanently to the Orange House.
