The “Mirror” Rule You Didn’t See Coming Most pet owners understand the “Bilateral Exclusion” when it comes to knees. But here is the question that is costing Frenchie owners thousands of dollars: Does this rule apply to their nose? Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) often involves Stenotic Nares (pinched nostrils). Since your dog has two
It’s Not a “Quirk.” It’s Suffocation. If you own a Frenchie, you know the sound. It sounds like a chainsaw, a lawnmower, or a gremlin gargling water. We laugh about it. We post videos of it on TikTok. We buy earplugs. But here is the hard truth: That noise isn’t cute. It is the sound
The $5,000 Difference: Same Surgery, Different Zip Code You just got the quote from your local vet in New York or Los Angeles: $7,800 for BOAS Surgery. You are in shock. You look at your bank account. You look at your wheezing Frenchie. But what if I told you that the exact same surgery, performed
The “Coastal Tax” Nobody Tells You About You bought your Frenchie. You found a vet. You applied for insurance. And then you saw the quote: $245 per month. You panic. You ask your friend in Ohio what they pay for their Frenchie. They say: $68 per month. Welcome to the “Zip Code Multiplier.” Insurance companies
If you own a Cocker Spaniel, you know the look. The wide, soulful eyes that stare into your soul every time you open the fridge. They act like they haven’t eaten in weeks, even though they had dinner 10 minutes ago. We call it “cute.” Science calls it a Genetic Mutation. Recent studies show that
If you own a Cocker Spaniel, you know “the smell.” It’s that faint, yeasty, musty odor that comes from under those beautiful, long floppy ears. We think it’s normal. Insurance companies think it’s a loophole. Cocker Spaniels are famous for two things: their merry personalities and their chronic ear problems. While you see cute ears,
It happens every year. A loving owner takes their Frenchie for a walk. It’s a sunny day, maybe 25°C (77°F). It doesn’t feel “too hot” to the human. Twenty minutes later, the dog collapses. The owner rushes to the vet, but it’s too late. And then comes the second shock: The insurance company denies the
The “Mirror” Rule You Didn’t Know About Imagine this: Your Frenchie, Bruno, had a minor “Cherry Eye” surgery on his left eye when he was a puppy, before you bought insurance. It cost $500, and you paid cash. No big deal, right? Two years later, you have insurance. Suddenly, his right eye develops Cherry Eye.
The $5,000 Snore: Why “Cute” Can Cost You If you own a Frenchie or a Pug, you know the sound. It’s that snort, grunt, or snore that happens when they get excited or fall asleep. To most owners, it’s a badge of honor—part of the breed’s goofy charm. But to an insurance adjuster, that sound
Is Accident-Only Insurance a Smart Move for Your Frenchie? If you own a French Bulldog, Pug, English Bulldog, or any other “brachy” (flat-faced) breed, you’ve probably seen the pet insurance quotes. The premiums for comprehensive (accident + illness) plans can be high. This might have you wondering: what about an accident-only plan? They’re much cheaper,
