Large pedigree breeds

Imaging+

Often needed before surgery

Sum insured

Choose for city hospital reality

Continuity

Matters more than one cheap year

Quick answer

Large breeds can face costlier imaging, surgery, and hospital stays. GuavaSure helps you prepare records and membership; Digit issues any insurance policy and decides claims.

Cost gravity for large dogs

Anaesthesia, implants, and boarding scale with size. Even a single orthopaedic pathway can exceed what most families keep as cash buffer.

That is why sum-insured selection and early enrolment matter more than finding the cheapest monthly number.

Match sum insured to large-dog reality

Check live Digit tiers for your dog’s profile before you lock a number.

Wellness still matters

Weight control, joint-aware exercise, and vaccination continuity reduce avoidable risk. Insurance is not a substitute for daily care discipline.

  • Ask your vet about growth-plate timing before intense sport.
  • Keep body condition scored — obesity multiplies joint load.
  • Budget for diagnostics; “wait and see” gets expensive fast.

Operational readiness

Know your 24×7 clinic options and how you will move a large dog in an emergency. GuavaSure keeps documents ready so financing conversations start faster.

Still unsure about sum insured or waiting periods?

Talk through your dog’s profile before you decide.

Size / lifespan chips are GuavaSure planning signals only (not third-party marketing copy or images). GuavaSure content and Digit product rules remain the source of truth.

Frequently asked questions

Often, but not solely because of size. Age, medical history signals, and chosen cover drive the quote. Check live eligibility in the GuavaSure flow.

Editorial note

GuavaSure is a pet membership and wellness platform, not an insurer, broker, or insurance intermediary. Where insurance is offered, policies are issued and claims are decided by an IRDAI-regulated insurer (currently Go Digit General Insurance Limited). Always read active policy wording, waiting periods, and exclusions before you buy.

Insurance in this flow is issued by Go Digit General Insurance Limited. Claims are reviewed and paid by the insurer.

Protect the dog that fills the room

Enrol early — waiting periods are easiest to finish while healthy.
