Changes we’ve made to this page

Update from 23/03/2026

From 23/03/2026, we now offer cover for the following breeds:

  • Cane Corso

  • Czechoslovakian Wolfdog

  • Italian Mastiff

  • Saarloos Wolfhound

All new policies taken out from 23/03/2026 for Cane Corsos, Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs, Italian Mastiffs and Saarloos Wolfhounds are offered without liability cover. This is applied through a policy endorsement, and liability cover does not form part of the plan for these policies.

Cane Corsos insured before 19/03/2024 will continue to have liability cover included, provided there has been no break in cover and the policy remains unchanged.

You should review all included cover, exclusions and limits before you buy a policy, and we set out full details in your handbook and policy documents.

Update from 19/03/2024

We stopped offering new policies for any Cane Corso breeds. This includes any dog which is crossed with a Cane Corso. If your dog was covered with us before 19/03/2024, we'll continue covering them.

Update from 01/03/2024

We stopped offering new policies for any dog that meets the UK Government’s definition of an XL bully, whether registered as exempt or not.
