Are dog attacks covered by homeowner’s insurance?
Many insurance companies now exclude certain breeds from their homeowner’s insurance coverage. Pit Bulls (also known as American Pit Bull Terriers, the American Staffordshire Bull Terrier), Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Husky, Malamute, Doberman, Chow Chows, Great Danes, and St. Bernard’s, listed in declining order of fatalities, are the breeds most commonly excluded.
