Dog Bite Insurance – What Is The One Free Bite Rule?
 |
Do you have dog bite insurance? If you own a dog you can be held liable if your dog bites someone. Typically renter’s insurance or homeowner’s policies provide some cover for dog bite liability, but these policies may not cover the complete cost of a claim and if they don’t, the dog owner will be liable for the rest.
Keep in mind, once your dog has bitten someone you will be expected to take steps to correct the dog’s behavior or face losing your insurance. The pet insurance company will view you and your dog as a risk once he has bitten someone. So, again it might be best to try to mitigate dog bites before they happen. Even with the ‘one free bite’, which is not applicable in every state you are still at risk once your dog bites someone.
Unfortunately, there is some more bad news. There is no cover policy for dog bit insurance. Your only recourse is to have homeowner’s or renter’s policy to cover any liability. However, if your dogs bite someone your insurance company may request the following, but not limited to: charge a higher premium, they may exclude the dog from coverage or they may not renew the policy.
With all things considered it might be best to deal with your dog’s aggression and biting instinct before things get out of hand. That way, you minimize the risk of losing your homeowner’s insurance. Despite what many people think dogs do not bite for any reason.
The best way to let your dog know that it isn’t okay to put his mouth on people is to tell him so. If you have a fully grown dog, he may be shy, resentful, or distrustful of people as a whole, strangers, or other dogs. This can lead to problems, especially in stressful situations, and so it is important that if you have a family, especially with small children, you try and keep things quiet and peaceful around the dog for a while.
Dog biting might seem cute while they are still puppies, but it can lead to serious problems later on, especially if something unfortunate happens with a stranger or guest to your house. Therefore, it is really important that you keep them from biting, as even a harmless playful bite can seriously scare children and adults alike.
One of the easiest things you can do is to teach your dog good and appropriate behavior. Dogs are good learners. Reward your dog for good behavior. The reward can be something as simple as a pat on the back or a belly rub or food that you know your dog loves.
Teaching puppies that no teeth can touch human skin or clothes help in the long-term. Also, you need to realize that your dog may need professional training, or you may need a manual on helping your dog or puppy to learn biting is not acceptable along with other social skills. By taking this precaution you will have a better behaved dog and pet insurance that will not be a risk.
