Here’s the tip:
In addition to pet health insurance, you can opt to purchase dog bite insurance. Many people have homeowner or rental insurance but it doesn’t always cover a dog bite. Of course most dogs don’t bite, but any dog is capable of biting which could present a problem, so it is prudent to consider. Even if a dog is provoked, or causes accidental harm to another person, you could be liable.
Many companies are excluding dogs entirely or by breed, which is a nationwide trend, leaving you uninsured in the event of an incident. Now you can purchase insurance in case your dog bites somebody.
