Ragdoll pet insurance

Why insurance matters here

Ragdolls carry a heritable heart condition, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It is chronic. HCM costs $1,000 to $1,500 to diagnose, and monitoring follows across the cat's life. That cardiac bill, starting at $1,000 to $1,500 to diagnose, is the exposure a modest monthly premium is meant to cap.

Typical monthly premium

$47 – $73/mo
