Farmer’s Insurance (Varies by state. See below)

NEWS: Farmers Insurance has announced that it is no longer writing new policies in California for dogs identified as pit bulls, Rottweilers or so-called ‘wolf hybrids.’ Farmer’s clients in CA should check with their agents to learn when their policy is up for renewal and begin looking for a stand alone dog policy or – preferably – a new, non-discriminatory provider such as State Farm. Farmer’s clients outside of CA are advised to stay alert in the event that their decision to block select dog breed(s) rolls into your home state.

Insurance Provider for Non-Profits – Now rescuers have options

Please Note: Insurance agents from independently run offices are not obligated to sell you a policy. If someone who represents one or more of the parent companies listed here refuses you, keep searching until you find an agent who will work with you. It goes without saying that a dog with a bite history will be much harder to insure, so work to keep your dog’s record clean by being a responsible dog owner.

Listed below are names of agents and carriers who come recommended by our facebook friends. Thanks to all for sharing your favorites!
