Maltipoo Pet Insurance
Give your Maltipoo nose-to-tail coverage for all of life's surprises!
Maltipoos are gentle, affectionate, and intelligent companions who bring endless joy to families, but as a small to medium breed, they’re prone to certain health conditions that can lead to expensive vet bills. Luxating patella, progressive retinal atrophy, and epilepsy are just a few common concerns that could cost thousands to treat.
Pet insurance helps you focus on what matters most: your Maltipoo’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 Maltipoo pet insurance cover?
A base Lemonade pet health insurance policy helps cover the costs of medication, tests, and treatments if your Maltipoo 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 Luxating patella, Maltipoos benefit from comprehensive coverage that protects against life’s surprises.

- Visit fees
- Dental coverage: important for breeds prone to dental issues from their Maltese lineage
- Behavioral conditions
- End-of-life and remembrance
These coverages help take a bite out of pricey treatments, services, and vet visits that Maltipoos often need.
Is pet insurance worth it for Maltipoos?
Taking care of any small to medium breed gets expensive, and Maltipoos 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.
Maltipoos are particularly prone to kneecap dislocation, eye conditions, and seizure disorders, which makes insurance even more valuable.
