Pet Insurance for Basset Hounds
The long droopy ears, wrinkly face and legendary sense of smell make them one of the most recognizable pups around. While Basset Hounds may have a reputation for being aloof, they’re also incredibly loyal to their family.
They’re an undeniably special breed — right down to their unique health concerns. Not all pet insurance providers cover breed-specific issues. We do.

Fetch is the most comprehensive pet insurance for
Basset Hounds
While their extremely long ears are helpful for tracking down a scent, they’re also prone to infections since air isn’t able to circulate inside of them. Fetch covers the tests and treatment for ear infections including exam fees and prescription medications.
If your pup has a clean bill of health now, Fetch can help you with vet bills later.
