Getting to know Japanese Chins
The Japanese Chin is known for its silky coat and distinctively short, pushed-in face. It has a rich history dating back to ancient Japan, where it was a favored companion of Japanese nobility. Their origins are debated, but they may have been introduced as gifts from Chinese or Korean royalty. Japanese Chins are playful and affectionate, often displaying a cat-like grace and independence.

Common Japanese Chin health conditions
:quality(75))
Brachycephalic airway syndrome
ManyPets Average Claim Received: >$1,900
ManyPets Highest Claim Received: >$3,600
Due to their shortened muzzles and flat faces, Japanese Chins are prone to respiratory issues. This can cause difficulty breathing, sensitivity to heat, and snoring. Japanese Chins should avoid overly strenuous activities, as well as extremely hot environments.

Luxating patella
ManyPets Average Claim Received: >$840
ManyPets Highest Claim Received: >$7,200
A common issue in small dog breeds, this condition occurs when the kneecap slips out of place, causing discomfort and potential lameness. Mild cases may not require major treatment, while severe cases might need surgical intervention.

Heart disease
ManyPets Average Claim Received: >$680
ManyPets Highest Claim Received: >$8,500
Japanese Chins can suffer from heart conditions like mitral valve disease and early-onset heart murmurs. These conditions can significantly affect their lifespan if not managed properly.

Eye disorders
ManyPets Average Claim Received: >$260
ManyPets Highest Claim Received: >$4,600
Japanese Chins are prone to certain eye conditions, including cataracts (where the lens becomes opaque, potentially leading to blindness) and progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), a genetic condition that causes the degeneration of the retina and eventual blindness.

Frequently asked questions
Everything else you may want to know about ManyPets claims for Chins.
How much does Japanese Chin insurance cost?
The cost of dog insurance depends on multiple factors, including your dog’s age and location, your coverage selections, and breed. Chins are prone to certain hereditary health conditions, which may play a role in determining your premium.
How do I make an insurance claim for my Japanese Chin?
It’s easy! Just follow these three (3) simple steps:
Step 1: When your pet is sick or injured, visit any licensed veterinarian in the U.S. for diagnosis and treatment, and pay as usual at checkout (don’t forget to ask for a copy of your itemized vet bill).
Step 2: Log in to your account at www.manypets.com/account and press the “Make a Claim” button. Enter the details of your claim, upload a copy of your vet bill, and press submit!
Step 3: Sit back and relax while we process your claim. We’ll send you regular updates via email so that you can track our progress. If approved, we’ll pay you back for everything we cover up to your reimbursement percentage and after you’ve met your yearly deductible*. If you need to contact someone from our team, please email manyclaim@manypets.com.
Does ManyPets cover pre-existing conditions for my Japanese Chin
Like other pet insurance companies, ManyPets won’t cover pre-existing conditions for any type of pet. However, we may treat past conditions that have been free of symptoms and treatment for 18 months (except for cruciate ligament injuries or hip dysplasia).
Does dog insurance for Japanese Chins cover liability, loss, or theft?
The ManyPets insurance policy is intended to cover accidents and illnesses, but not liability, loss, or theft.
Does dog insurance for Japanese Chins cover routine care?
The ManyPets dog insurance policy is designed to reimburse pet parents for accidents and illnesses, not preventative care. However, the optional, non-insurance ManyPets Wellness Plan can indeed reimburse you for preventative care, including checkups, vaccinations, parasite prevention, routine dental care, supplements, and more*.
Does dog insurance cover travel for Japanese Chins?
All ManyPets policies cover dogs who are traveling in any US state, Washington D.C., or Canada for up to 90 days. After 90 days, you’ll need to update your pet’s address.
Does dog insurance cover dental treatment for Japanese Chins?
Your dog insurance policy may cover dental accidents and, unlike some pet insurance companies, dental illnesses. Insurance doesn’t cover preventative cleanings or over-the-counter dental products — but the optional, non-insurance ManyPets Wellness Plan does help reimburse you for these types of preventative care.
*ManyPets analyzes every claim on its own merits, subject to the terms and conditions of your insurance policy or Wellness plan. Insurance exclusions apply, including those for pre-existing conditions (only claims unrelated to an excluded treatment or condition are eligible for coverage). Wellness Plan reimbursement is available only for eligible preventative care treatments.
