Raising a mini pig or Pot-Bellied Pig is a joyful experience, as they are very cheerful and friendly breeds. Their companionship can be a great stress reliever. However, if you keep a Juliana or Pot-Bellied pig as a pet, there are some important things you need to know that, if overlooked, could cause significant problems in the future. While some companies offer pet insurance, they often consider these pigs not as typical pets but as exotic breeds. When a pet falls into the exotic category, its insurance and other related costs become significantly more expensive.
Furthermore, and perhaps most surprisingly, a standard homeowners insurance policy does not provide coverage for your Pot-Bellied pig. This means that if your Pot-Bellied pig bites a neighbor or damages someone's private property, the owner is fully liable. This could result in thousands of dollars in expenses, causing considerable financial hardship.
