Oriental Shorthair pet insurance

Why insurance matters here

The Oriental Shorthair is medium risk by our numbers, $26 to $41 a month across ten metros, near $30 typical. The flagged condition here is mild on the wallet. Progressive retinal atrophy runs $200 to $800 to work up and monitor. So an Oriental policy is less about one big claim and more about the steady ones a $30 plan absorbs.
