Persian pet insurance

Why insurance matters here

Persians carry a high breed-linked rate of polycystic kidney disease. It is chronic. The lifetime cost is among the steepest in feline care, with PKD management running $1,500 to $5,000 over the course of the disease. Brachycephalic airway issues add another $1,000 to $4,000. Once kidney values drift on a routine panel, that $1,500-to-$5,000 spend is already pre-existing.

Typical monthly premium

$39 – $61/mo
