The Rottweiler Dog Breed: Why We Love These Gentle Guardians

Strong, smart, loyal, and sweet — that’s the beloved Rottie. These gentle giants are big softies that love to snuggle up, play, and go on adventures. All you’ve got to do to keep your Rottweiler happy is give them lots of love and attention.

Like all pedigree dogs, Rottweilers do have some genetic health risks. While they’re generally hardy pooches, there’s always a small risk of these issues popping up. As a Rottie parent, you’ve got to understand what health problems can occur to ensure you’re fully prepared. Here are some of the conditions to look out for:

  • Obesity
  • Hip and elbow dysplasia
  • Gastric issues
  • Ligament complications
  • Heart problems



    • The best way to properly prep for these problems is to get breed-specific health insurance for your pooch. Browse and compare our multi-award-winning Rottweiler policies online today at PetsOnMe.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    What Level of Cover Should I Choose for My Rottweiler Puppy?

    That all depends on your Rottie pup's needs and your preferences as a pet parent.

    If you’ve got a low-maintenance Rottie, the basic stuff will do — pick our budget-friendly and simplistic Accidental Plan. If you want accidental injury and illness covered, our Classic Plan will give you the best of both worlds. And if your Rottie has a higher risk of developing genetic issues, or if you just want to play it extra safe, our Deluxe Plan is the full package.

    Are Rottweilers Healthy Dogs?

    You bet they are. Rotties are pretty hardy pooches that don’t get sick or injured that often, but that doesn’t mean they are completely invincible. Just like other pedigree breeds, Rottweilers have their own set of health risks, like heart problems, hip dysplasia, and obesity.

    Even if you’ve got a healthy Rottie, it’s always a wise choice to get them breed-specific coverage.

    What Levels of Cover Are There for Rottweilers?

    Here at PetsOnMe, we’ve got three levels of cover that match every Rottie need and pet parent preference.

    For basic coverage, our Accidental Plan is the perfect choice. It covers accidental injury treatment, third-party liability, and prescribed meds. For mid-level coverage, our Classic Plan is the one to get. Accidental injury, illness, hereditary conditions, prescribed meds, and third-party liability are all part of this superb value plan. And for the full package, our Deluxe Plan covers all the important stuff and beyond – it even includes select dental treatments!

    Whichever plan you pick out, we promise fully transparent terms and conditions and pricing without the jargon.

    Are Rottweilers Expensive to Insure?

    Not at PetsOnMe. We make sure all our policies are fairly priced and affordable. You’ll never need to worry about sneaky fees either because we abide by a strictly honest and transparent policy. It;s even free to upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your plan at any time.

    How Long Until My Rottweiler Can Get Covered?

    Going for our Accidental Plan? You get instant coverage. Our Classic and Deluxe Plans take a little longer to kick in — expect around 21 and 180 days before you get covered. If you’ve held a policy with no interruptions from another provider for one year or more, we’ll waive our waiting periods and get you covered ASAP.
