The Belgian Malinois is named after Malines, a city in Belgium. This breed is highly intelligent, extremely agile, and was commonly used in Belgium for herding livestock. The Belgian Malinois is easily trained, but must receive proper training from a very young age. With adequate training the dog’s aggression can be controlled and and focused to be used for police work! This honorable breed is often used as a working dog for protection, detection of narcotics/bombs, and police work. The large size of the Belgian Malinois can be harmful to people and other animals if they have not receive proper and thorough training by an experienced trainer. They can get along with other dogs, cats, and children if socialized from a young age. The Belgian Malinois herding instincts may cause them to chase, circle and nip at people’s heels. They are moderately wary of strangers, and in turn, make an excellent guard dog. They love to work and can become depressed if they are not included in enough activity!

Pethealth has been fantastic. When Tasha was diagnosed with cancer, it gave me the ability to have her treated with much less concern over the finances. It allows for a much less selfish decision and allowed me to do the right thing for her without thinking about the money. Thank you for the quick way you handled it too. At a time of stress, you made that easy. She lived over a year after her diagnosis and almost all of that was with high life quality thanks to your help. Whoever says pet insurance is not worth it has a lot to learn about Pethealth and 24Petwatch Pet Insurance.
