Bengal pet insurance

Why insurance matters here

Bengals carry several breed-linked conditions across a long life. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy costs $1,000 to $1,500 to diagnose, and pyruvate kinase deficiency adds $500 to $8,000. Coverage converts that cardiac risk into a predictable monthly payment instead of an unbudgeted shock, with pyruvate kinase deficiency at $500 to $8,000 covered too.

Typical monthly premium

$39 – $61/mo
