Potential
Problems for AKC Dog Owners who Wish to Purchase Health Insurance
 There
are times when adopting that shaggy non-descript mutt at the
neighborhood shelter is an advantage over purchasing an expensive AKC
model. The first advantage is the start up cost, AKC registered pups
seldom start at less them three hundred dollars from there the prices
can sore into the thousands. The adoption fee for your local pound
puppy shouldn’t be more then two hundred bucks and a lot of
times they are up to date on all their shots and are already neutered
or spayed.
The second time you will notice an
advantage to your pound puppy is
when you purchase liability insurance. Liability insurance is an
insurance policy that will pay out to the injured party if your dog
suddenly bites somebody. Several breeds recognized by the American
Kennel Club are on several liability insurance companies list of high
risk dogs and cost the owner an extra high premium. Many dogs who were
bred to be guard dogs are considered a high liability.
The third time you will see a distinct
advantage to your pound puppy is
if you choose to purchase pet health care insurance. Many pet health
care insurance companies will not insure against potential genetic
disorders that are common in a particular breed.
Owners of English Cocker Spaniels may
experience a difficult time
insuring the their puppies kidneys until the dog is past its second
birthday. English Cocker Spaniels have been known to develop a genetic
condition called Familial Nephropathy. A puppy with Familial
Nephropathy kidneys will start shutting down between the ages of six
months and two years old. This disease is normally fatal. Right now
there is not a really good way of identifying what puppies might
develop Familial Nephropathy.
Owners who purchase large dog breeds
that have a history of hip
dysplasia such as the American Staffordshire Terrier's, Great Danes,
German Shepards, Rottweilers, and Caucasian Mountain Dog's. Hip
dysplasia is a hereditary disease that affects the hip joints of the
dog. Dogs that have hip dysplasia walk with a loose wobbly gait; they
usually have a hard time bringing their hind legs up and underneath
themselves. Most pet health insurance companies will probably not be
able to insure there new puppies hips until a test has been run and the
puppy is declared sound and dysplasia clear.
Bulldogs have a history of breathing
problems because of their flat
face and smashed breathing passages; they are prone to heat stroke,
sleep apnea, birthing problems, cherry eye, allergies, hip problems,
and cataracts. Great Danes have a genetic history of slow metabolism,
bloat, twisted gut, hip dysplasia, congenital heart problems yeast
infections, and staph infections. If you buy a Great Dane that is
mostly white in color it will probably be deaf and possibly blind. Some
pet health insurance companies won’t insure the eyes of
certain dogs unless the puppy was bred by a breeder certified by the
Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF). Breeders that hold a
certification from this foundation have been acknowledged as breeding
puppies with no known eye health problems.
