Schnoodle Pet Insurance
Give your Schnoodle nose-to-tail coverage for all of life's surprises!
Schnoodles are intelligent, friendly, and active 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. Hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, and sebaceous adenitis are just a few common concerns that could cost thousands to treat.
Pet insurance helps you focus on what matters most: your Schnoodle’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 Schnoodle pet insurance cover?
A base Lemonade pet health insurance policy helps cover the costs of medication, tests, and treatments if your Schnoodle 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, Schnoodles benefit from comprehensive coverage that protects against life’s surprises.

Extra coverage
You can also customize your Lemonade policy with optional add-ons like:
- Physical therapy: can be important for this crossbreed depending on size, especially if inheriting joint issues from the Poodle side
- 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 Schnoodles often need.
Is pet insurance worth it for Schnoodles?
Taking care of any small to medium breed gets expensive, and Schnoodles can face costly breed-specific health issues throughout their 12 to 16-year lifespan. The good news? Lemonade pet parents are already saving serious money on vet bills.
Schnoodles are particularly prone to joint problems, eye conditions, and skin disorders inherited from both Schnauzer and Poodle lineages, which makes insurance even more valuable.

Common Schnoodle health conditions
Schnoodles 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:

|---|---|---|
| Slipping Kneecap (Luxating Patella) | Kneecap slips out of place, causing limping | $500–$2,500 |

As a designer/hybrid breed, Schnoodles face genetic variability from two breeds, potentially inheriting eye problems from Poodles and skin issues from Schnauzers, which is why early coverage is important to protect their health and your wallet.
How much does pet insurance for Schnoodles cost?
Your Schnoodle’s premium depends on a few key factors: Their age, your location, and the coverages you choose. Small to medium breeds like Schnoodles typically cost mid-range to insure due to their small-medium size and potential to inherit conditions from both parent breeds.
Here’s what other Schnoodle parents typically pay for Lemonade coverage:
| Age | Average monthly premium |
|---|---|
| 1 year old | $25-$30 |
| 2 years old | $25-$30 |
