Exotic Shorthair pet insurance

Why insurance matters here

The Exotic Shorthair is a high-risk cat by our numbers, $39 to $61 a month across ten metros, near $46 typical. The Persian heritage brings a kidney problem along. Polycystic kidney disease runs $1,200 to $6,000 across a managed lifetime. A $46 premium turns that slow, expensive condition into a predictable one.
