Should You Get Pet Insurance for Your Frenchie?

At Melissa’s Frenchie Puppies, we are frequently asked if we recommend pet insurance for our French Bulldogs. To provide you with the best advice, we’ve done some research on the pet insurance market, evaluating the pros and cons and reviewing the highest-rated companies.

Do We Recommend Pet Insurance for Frenchies?

The decision to purchase pet insurance really depends on several factors: your tolerance for risk, your ability to cover high medical costs, and your financial situation. While we offer a guarantee for congenital or genetic defects for up to one year (or two years with NuVet supplements), accidents, illnesses, and unexpected health issues may still arise—especially after the guarantee period.

Some conditions, no matter how healthy the Frenchie, can result in high vet bills. For example, treating a broken bone or other injuries can cost thousands of dollars, and illnesses can escalate quickly. While some pet owners may be able to afford these unexpected costs, many may find it challenging.

If you’re independently wealthy, you may feel confident self-insuring your Frenchie. However, for most families, pet insurance offers peace of mind and financial protection against expensive treatments. A small monthly premium can go a long way in helping to preserve your Frenchie’s life, ensuring they receive the best possible care when needed.

Which Pet Insurance Company Do We Recommend?

There are many great pet insurance companies available. In the past, we recommended Healthy Paws, and it remains one of the top-rated options. However, several other companies have gained popularity due to their competitive coverage and prices. We recommend reviewing the coverage, cost, and customer reviews of these top companies to find the best fit for you:

1. Lemonade
2. Spot
3. MetLife
4. Pets Best
5. ASPCA
6. Embrace
7. Pumpkin
8. Fetch
9. Healthy Paws

Each of these companies has its own benefits and may offer the coverage you need to ensure your Frenchie is well cared for in case of unexpected medical issues.

Why Pet Insurance Is Worth Considering for Your Frenchie

While no amount of insurance can guarantee a long, healthy life, it can help offset high medical bills and provide you with the financial peace of mind to give your Frenchie the best care possible. From routine vet visits to unexpected health crises, pet insurance ensures your Frenchie is covered when you need it most.
