Would homeowner's insurance pay for carpeting that was damaged by a dog?

Answer

No,unless he ruined someone else's carpet other than your own and then your homeowner's liability would cover it.

Animal damage is almost always excluded caused by both domestic and wild animals. A rare example where damage from an animal might be covered is if the animal did something that resulted in a fire.
