Is Your Four-Legged Friend Increasing Your Insurance Rates

Anthony Insurance Agency

Dogs are great; they are loyal and excitable members of your family. Many people don’t think that their choice in pet can affect their homes, aside from a few accidents and maybe chewing up a couch cushion during a thunderstorm. But, according to an article in Forbes , home insurance companies often raise rates for 11 “risky” breeds of dogs.

The reason being, should your dog bite someone in your home a lawsuit or costly claim can result. Some insurers refuse to insure the “risky” dogs, while others simply raise your rates. Here are the top 11 breeds of dog that some insurers are wary of covering.

11. Wolf Hybrids

10. Siberian Huskies

9. Alaskan Malamutes

8. Akitas

7. Presa Canarios

6. Great Danes

5. Chows

4. German Shepherds

3. Rottweilers

2. Doberman Pinschers

1. Pit Bulls and Staffordshire Terriers

If you have questions about if your best friend is increasing your insurance rates, give Wayne Anthony Inurance a call today. We can talk to you about how all pets can affect you insurance premiums and what you can do to keep your costs down.
