Whilst pet insurance can offer essential coverage for a range of health conditions and accidents, it’s crucial to understand that not everything will be covered by your policy. The following things usually won’t be covered:
Not usually included | Details |
---|---|
Pre-existing conditions | Like most insurers, Asda Money pet insurance does not cover any existing health issues your English Bulldog had before the policy started. |
Cosmetic procedures | Insurance won’t cover grooming, elective surgeries, or any treatments done purely for cosmetic reasons. |
Behavioural issues | Treatments or therapy for behavioural problems like aggression or anxiety are usually not covered under standard pet insurance. |
Routine care | Day-to-day care such as vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, and annual health checks are usually not included. |
Microchipping | Although it is a legal requirement for all dogs once they’re eight weeks old, microchipping isn’t usually covered by insurance. However, it’s relatively low-cost and sometimes offered free or at a discounted rate by pet charities. |
The cost of insuring an English Bulldog in the UK can vary depending on a range of factors, including your chosen policy, your dog’s age, and whether they have any pre-existing conditions.
Because English Bulldogs are a brachycephalic breed and are prone to certain other health conditions like hip dysplasia, insurance premiums may be slightly higher than for some other dogs.
To find out how much pet insurance for your English Bulldog will cost, you can get a personalised quote through Asda Money. Plus, you can also get a 10% multi-pet Discount if you’re insuring two or more pets through us.
Originally bred in Britain for fighting, bullbaiting to be specific, the English Bulldog’s aggression has since been bred out. The breed nearly vanished with the end of the sport, but selective breeding transformed them into the lovable, affectionate dogs we know today. Now, their iconic face is a beloved British mascot.

English Bulldogs are determined and stubborn, making training challenging. You can start with basic commands and use positive reinforcement with treats, as they respond well to reward-based training.
English Bulldogs usually have three or four puppies per litter.
With their short, fine coat, Bulldogs require minimal grooming, typically twice-weekly brushing to control light shedding. Their facial wrinkles usually need regular cleaning to prevent infections.
English Bulldogs prefer short to medium walks and are suited to less active owners. However, regular outdoor exercise is essential to control their weight. Avoid exercising them in high heat to prevent breathing difficulties.
Insurance costs vary based on factors like your dog’s age, health, and the coverage type. Older dogs typically cost more due to higher health risks. Insuring your Bulldog young can reduce premiums and cover future conditions.
