Pet Insurance For Chihuahuas

K9 COVER offers comprehensive pet insurance for your Chihuahua. The Chihuahua is named after a Mexican state and as a small breed you might think they are easy to look after, but they thrive on attention and need to be constantly entertained. They require good training to balance out their high energy and love to be part of a family. To ensure your Chihuahua gets the care they need, make sure you invest in pet insurance. We have a range of options to suit the age and medical history of your dog.

Operations to repair fractures begin at around £950 and for more complicated work such as hip replacement the fee can easily rise to £3,500.
