Mixed breed dogs and domestic felines top lists of most insured breeds
Boise, Idaho - Pets Best Insurance Services, LLC, a leading U.S. pet insurance agency, released its annual list of the top 10 most popular dog and cat breeds enrolled with the agency in the state of Colorado in 2014.
In the company’s 10 years of insuring dogs and cats, the top 10 most popular breeds have remained relatively consistent. However, the agency has noticed definite trends, with certain breeds gaining popularity and others falling in the rankings.
Known for offering outdoor activities throughout all four seasons, Colorado is the perfect place for dog owners to bring their pets along for adventures. Whether it’s hiking, biking, swimming or camping, these types of activities are best suited for larger dog breeds, which can withstand cooler temperatures and harsh terrain.
The Colorado cities with the most dogs and cats insured by Pets Best include Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs and Littleton. The No. 1 insured dog breed in each of the top five Colorado cities is the mixed breed dog. For every four dogs insured in the state of Colorado, only one cat is insured.
Among the top cat breeds, domestic feline breeds include the domestic shorthair, domestic medium hair, domestic longhair and mixed breed cats.
Tracking data on 234 dog breeds and 46 cat breeds, Pets Best has listed its top 10 breeds for both dogs and cats in Colorado.
