Direct Line Pet Insurance

It is completely essential that a dog owner have some kind of insurance that will protect him or her against liability if the dog injures a person. However there are certain breeds allowed by company dog insurance and others that are not. In these circumstances a dog owner may find difficulty obtaining insurance. For example, if a dog is declared dangerous or there is a pending proceeding against the dog, the insurance might be suspended or cancelled. Here is what to do if that happens: First, check whether you have the right to appeal, under the law that was used to declare the dog to be dangerous. An attorney might well be necessary for this. Do this very, very soon after the decision is announced, because the right to appeal lasts only for a short time. However, if in doubt, see a lawyer to find out how much time you have. Second, talk to several or many insurance companies. Keep in mind that there are companies that will write insurance specifically covering canine liability. Perhaps you can supplement your current insurance with a special policy from one of those companies in other words, you would end up being insured under both policies at the same time. Third, if neither your regular insurance company nor another homeowners or renters insurance company will help you, but they do not cancel you, talk to an agent about getting a policy of umbrella insurance that covers what the underlying insurance won't cover. It is essential that the umbrella provides coverage for gaps in the underlying policy's scope of coverage. Make sure your agent knows that you need the umbrella policy to protect you against canine liability and that your underlying policy has been suspended or that canine liability coverage has been excluded from the underlying policy.
