Devon Rex pet insurance

Why insurance matters here

Devon Rex cats rate high risk in the model. Modeled premiums run $35 to $55 a month across ten metros, around $41 typical. Behind the unusual coat is an ordinary feline heart risk. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy costs $1,000 to $1,500 to diagnose. A modeled $41 premium is what keeps that number from landing all in one place.
