IVDD: The Dachshund Risk
Up to 25% of Dachshunds will experience some form of back problem in their lifetime. Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) surgery can cost £3,000-£8,000, plus ongoing rehabilitation.
Our recommendation: Choose a Premium or Comprehensive plan with hereditary condition coverage. Insure your Dachshund puppy early, before any symptoms appear.
