Welcome to the world of renters insurance! In a standard renters insurance policy, coverage for your dog will often fall under personal liability protections.
This means if someone were to be injured by your
dog
on your rental property or your dog damaged their property, your
personal liability
coverage would help you cover legal expenses up to a certain limit. Unfortunately, if your pet damages your own belongings, you’re on the hook for replacing those yourself.
For your pet’s health needs, you’d need separate pet insurance.
As you continue looking for renters insurance, it’s a good idea to get multiple quotes to compare your coverage options and their prices.
