Rottweiler Pet Insurance: Cost & Coverage Guide

Rottweilers are powerful large-breed dogs with elevated risk for osteosarcoma (bone cancer), which is aggressive and expensive to treat. Hip and elbow dysplasia rates are high, and aortic stenosis (a heart defect) occurs more frequently than average. Their large size means higher orthopedic surgery costs and more medication by weight. At ~$70/month, Rottweiler insurance reflects genuine elevated risk.
