The Belgian Tervuren looks much like the more popular “Belgian Sheepdog”, however is shades of brown in color rather than black. It is a very protective, smart, and loving breed. The Belgian Tervuren loves to be with it’s family and usually forms an extremely close bond with one or two family members. If properly socialized from birth, these dogs get along with children and other pets, but may remain dominant towards other dogs. The Belgian Tervuren is highly intelligent and obedient but must be trained with a firm but not harsh approach. Harsh training causes this breed to become uncooperative. Like the other Belgian Sheepdogs, this breed’s hardworking and protective nature makes it a very good police/guard dog.

I just want to thank you for your fast friendly service. Honestly, I was not sure how this whole pet insurance thing was going to work out but I am sure glad that I got it. Recently my puppy had severe digestive bloat from getting into some food. I rushed to the emergency vet and racked up a nice bill of $234.30. Thank goodness that my little "Rosa" was okay. I sent my claim to you and you sent me the cheque in full within a week. I am so glad that I have insurance for both my dogs. Thanks Pethealth I really appreciate it. I tell all my friends that you are the best pet insurance on the market... I have proof!
