Is pet insurance worth it for a Siberian Husky?
Answer
Pet insurance is generally worth it for Siberian Huskies. Hereditary cataracts, progressive retinal atrophy, hip dysplasia, and uveodermatologic syndrome are the defining breed risks. Enrolling young preserves coverage for the eye and skin conditions that typically appear later.
