5D Henry Dachshunds

The Dachshund might be the smallest of the hounds, but he’s the biggest in spirit. His distinctive shape first catches the eye, but people who know him appreciate his character, intelligence, hunting spirit, and absolute devotion to his people.

Dachshunds may look cute and cuddly, but they are tirelessly energetic, clever and curious—some might even say “intense.” Always up for a walk, run or a game in the park, they can easily get bored when left to their own devices for too long. Sometimes, that can involve chewing things.

I am going on my 3rd year with your company and although most of my claims have been for wellness I still feel that you are one of the best after talking to other people that have insurance else where. I do recomend your company to as many people as I can, and find it interesting that so many people seem to balk at having insurance for their pet.

They are always very helpful and email me everything I need to know in detail right away! I never have to worry about anything when it comes to my puppy Toby because I know Trupanion will be there to help take care of him.

Healthy Paws is awesome. When our rescue, Charlotte became very ill suddenly, we brought her to the local vet ER praying she would make it through the night. Charlotte was adopted 3 months ago from a rescue foundation that saved her from a kill shelter in North Carolina. She is a mini dachshund, estimated to be 11 yrs old. Our other 2 dachshunds are covered by insurance so we were grateful to find a plan that covered a rescue with little known history. Thanks to amazing vets and lots of prayers and TLC, she is on the road to recovery. Hopefully, she will never be poisoned and sick again, but it is reassuring to know there is a compassionate insurance company to help with tough emotional and financial times. Jen, our representative still checks on our little girl

As a pure breed, Dachshunds are more susceptible to genetic health issues than mixed breed dogs. Whether you just brought home a young puppy or have a full-grown adult, each segment in a dog's life brings about new health risks. Providing your Dachshund with the medical help they need should never be a financial decision. Our customizable pet health insurance provides coverage for accidents & illnesses while allowing you to build a dog insurance policy that fits your budget.
