Common health issues for Pomeranians
While mix breeds are often thought to be healthier, they can still be prone to genetic conditions. But when insured with Vets Choice, your Pomeranian is in good hands. Back yourself with a pet insurance product made by vets for pets that covers the conditions your Pomeranian could be predisposed to genetically.
Joint conditions and joint luxation
Hip dysplasia, Elbow dysplasia, and patella luxation (dislocation of the patella bone) are common congenital issues that arise as your Pomeranian grows. They both range in severity and can require x-rays or other joint scans to diagnose. Treatments range from dietary changes, to medication, or surgery in more severe cases which can cost between $5,000 and $7,000.

Tips for choosing the right insurance for your Pomeranian
If you're looking for the best pet insurance for Pomeranians you really have to look closely at the policies available, what they include and also don't include, and the sub-limits on some of the accident and illness covers because not everything is covered to the full annual policy limit.
- Be aware of sub-limits – While a cheap monthly premium can seem appealing, its more important to look at the sub-limits for cover in the policy to make sure you’re not leaving your pet underinsured or uninsured for conditions their breed may be prone to.
- Look after your pets teeth – When we think of protecting our pets, we should also protect their teeth. Pets use their mouth for lots of things; playing, exploring their surroundings as puppies and eating. Dental treatments are expensive, and dental cover is an important add-on that can help keep your pets smile happy and healthy.
- Take advantage of gap payments – Some pet owners tend to opt for insurance plans with no gap payments to avoid out-of-pocket expenses. However, if you take out a policy with gap payments, it can actually help bring down the premium on higher-coverage products. In other words, gap payments are one way to help make the overall cost of your pet's insurance policy more affordable.
