Rottweiler Insurance Overview
Rottweilers are a large, powerful breed prone to orthopaedic conditions and certain cancers, particularly osteosarcoma (bone cancer). Their size means higher medication and anaesthetic costs. Cruciate ligament injuries are also very common and can cost £2,000-£4,000 per leg to repair.
