Tonkinese pet insurance

Why insurance matters here

Tonkinese cats rate low risk, a modeled $22 to $34 a month across ten metros, about $25 typical. The recurring cost here is dental, not dramatic. Periodontal disease runs $600 to $1,200 per tooth extracted, across cleanings and extractions over the years. At a modeled $25 a month, a policy mostly smooths out those steady, unglamorous bills.
