Looking for a pet insurance provider that covers pre-existing conditions? Check out Itchy Boxer’s guide to pet insurance policies for Boxer dogs.
If nothing is more important to you than your precious pooch, you need comprehensive pet insurance to make sure your four-legged friend is protected no matter what happens in the future. To help you find the perfect policy, Itchy Boxer outlines the benefits of pet insurance for Boxer dogs and offers tips and recommendations for comparing plans and selecting a provider.
Sadly, Boxer dogs are prone to several heart conditions such as cardiomyopathy which weakens the heart muscle and makes it more difficult for it to pump blood efficiently. They are also predisposed to aortic stenosis which causes a narrowing of the aortic valve, leading to reduced blood flow from the heart.
Dogs with these conditions will usually require ongoing medical care, which can be pretty expensive. As such, Itchy Boxer recommends Boxer owners consider pet insurance for their dogs to make sure they receive the treatment they need if they become ill. Alongside offering financial protection, comprehensive pet insurance ensures access to veterinary care, the guide explains.
Itchy Boxer’s guide also outlines the different types of pet insurance available. For instance, basic accident-only plans cover the cost of treating accident-related injuries such as broken bones, but these plans do not cover illnesses or routine veterinary care. For more extensive protection, you may consider comprehensive coverage, which typically covers illnesses, or a wellness and preventative care plan that also includes routine check-ups with a range of add-ons available.

When comparing insurance plans, Itchy Boxer emphasizes the importance of carefully reviewing the exclusions and waiting periods as many plans have exclusions for pre-existing conditions. You should also check customer reviews for each provider you are considering to gauge their reliability and customer service.
“Investing in pet insurance ensures that your Boxer receives timely and appropriate medical care, which can significantly improve their quality of life,” says the guide. “Given the breed’s susceptibility to heart conditions and other health issues, having a reliable pet insurance plan is crucial.”
