Why Bulldog (English)s cost what they do
Insurers price each breed by how much they expect to pay out in claims. For the Bulldog (English), the conditions that drive the math are: brachycephalic airway syndrome; skin fold dermatitis; cherry eye; joint problems. Those conditions mean more frequent and more expensive vet visits, and that shows up directly in the monthly price.
