French Bulldog Insurance Overview
French Bulldogs are one of the most expensive breeds to insure due to brachycephalic-related health issues. BOAS surgery alone can cost over £3,000, and many Frenchies need treatment for recurring skin problems and spinal conditions. Lifetime cover is essential as these are chronic, lifelong issues.
