Aussiedoodle Pet Insurance
Give your Aussiedoodle nose-to-tail coverage for all of life's surprises!
Aussiedoodles are intelligent, energetic, and loyal companions who bring endless joy to families, but as a medium to large breed, they’re prone to certain health conditions that can lead to expensive vet bills. Hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and progressive retinal atrophy are just a few common concerns that could cost thousands to treat.
Pet insurance helps you focus on what matters most: your Aussiedoodle’s health and happiness. Here’s everything you need to know about coverage options, costs, and why insurance makes sense for this beloved breed.
What does Aussiedoodle pet insurance cover?
A base Lemonade pet health insurance policy helps cover the costs of medication, tests, and treatments if your Aussiedoodle has an unexpected accident or illness (provided it’s not related to a pre-existing condition, and occurs after your policy’s waiting periods have ended).
Whether it’s an unexpected accident during play time or a breed-specific illness like Hip dysplasia, Aussiedoodles benefit from comprehensive coverage that protects against life’s surprises.

Extra coverage
You can also customize your Lemonade policy with optional add-ons like:

- Visit fees
- Dental coverage
- Behavioral conditions
- End-of-life and remembrance
These coverages help take a bite out of pricey treatments, services, and vet visits that Aussiedoodles often need.
Is pet insurance worth it for Aussiedoodles?
Taking care of any medium to large breed gets expensive, and Aussiedoodles can face costly breed-specific health issues throughout their 12 to 15-year lifespan. The good news? Lemonade pet parents are already saving serious money on vet bills.
Aussiedoodles are particularly prone to joint problems, eye conditions, and inherited traits from both Australian Shepherd and Poodle lineages, which makes insurance even more valuable.

Common Aussiedoodle health conditions
Aussiedoodles are amazing dogs, but they’re predisposed to certain health conditions that can get expensive to treat. Here are some of the most common claims we see for them, along with typical treatment costs:
| Condition | What is it? | Average treatment cost |
|---|---|---|
| Hip Dysplasia | Malformed hip joint; pain and arthritis in back legs | $1,500–$6,000 |
| Ear Infections | Chronic or severe ear infections | $300–$800 |
| Cataracts | Clouding of the eye lens; vision loss | $2,000–$4,000 |
| Skin Allergies (Environmental/Food) | Persistent itching from food, fleas, or environment | $400–$1,500 |
| Blindness from Retinal Disease (PRA) | Inherited gradual vision loss | $300–$700 |
| Obesity | Extra weight, leads to other health issues | $250–$800 |
| Torn Knee Ligament (Cruciate Ligament Tear) | Torn ligament in the knee | $1,200–$8,500 |
| Seizure Disorders (Epilepsy) | Recurring seizures | $500–$2,500 |

As a designer/hybrid breed, Aussiedoodles face genetic variability from two breeds, potentially inheriting hip dysplasia from Shepherds and eye issues from either parent, which is why early coverage is important to protect their health and your wallet.
How much does pet insurance for Aussiedoodles cost?
Your Aussiedoodle’s premium depends on a few key factors: Their age, your location, and the coverages you choose. Medium to large breeds like Aussiedoodles typically cost more to insure due to their medium-large size and potential to inherit expensive conditions from both highly active parent breeds.
Here’s what other Aussiedoodle parents typically pay for Lemonade coverage:
| Age | Average monthly premium |
|---|---|
| 1 year old | $30-$35 |
