Pet Insurance For Whippets

K9 COVER offers comprehensive pet insurance for your Whippet. The Whippet descended from a greyhound and shares a number of the breed's characteristics. A fast dog, the Whippet was useful for hunters who wanted to catch rabbits and other small game. The Whippet is beautiful and makes an ideal family pet because they are loyal, obedient and fun to be around. To ensure your Whippet 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.

Common Medical Conditions For Whippets
