You can certainly get homeowner's insurance if you have a dog. My advice to people is that if they do have some sort of pet, they bring this up when they buy insurance with their agent and their insurance company. The last thing you want is to have a surprise and to find out that somehow domestic pets are not covered under the insurance policy. The more information the better and it never hurts to ask. It's an important thing to everybody understands upfront what exposures you face with your homeowner's insurance policy.
