# 🐾 I have a dog, does this impact my insurance coverage?

Generally speaking? **Nope — you're good!** 🐶 We love dogs too.

Most households have pets, and insurers totally get that. The only time a dog might raise a red flag is if they’ve had a **bite history** — then they might ask for a few more details.

As the **owner of your furry bestie**, you are legally responsible for them. That means if your pup accidentally causes damage or injures someone, you could be liable — but that’s what **liability coverage** in your tenant or home insurance is for!

> 💡 **Heads up:** Some insurers may ask for your dog’s breed or behavior history when you apply, just to make sure everything is in the clear.
