Furball for Dachshunds
Dachshund insurance,
done right.
Dachshunds — standard or miniature, smooth or wire-haired — have surged in popularity across the UK and Ireland. Their long backs are their charm and their weakness: around a quarter of Dachshunds have back trouble in their lifetime, and spinal surgery is one of the most expensive bills in small-animal practice. With Furball, 100% of it comes back to you.
Breed health, covered
What Dachshunds
see the vet for.
Furball covers conditions that arise after your cover starts — with 100% of the bill back.
Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)
The breed's defining risk. MRI plus spinal surgery commonly costs £5,000–£9,000.
Dental disease
Small jaws crowd teeth; dental extractions are a frequent miniature Dachshund claim.
Luxating patella
Slipping kneecaps affect many miniatures and can need surgical correction.
Obesity
Extra weight multiplies back risk, making weight-related illness a serious concern.
Full cover
100% of the vet bill.
