Why insure your Maine Coon?

Maine Coons are prone to certain health problems and can face vet costs that add up quickly.

With a sturdy frame and a sociable nature, they might look invincible, but this cat breed can still face challenges later in life.

Conditions like Hip dysplasia and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a heart condition) often affect Maine Coons.

This is why an insurance policy helps you feel prepared, so you’re never alone in looking after your cat’s health.

Whether you have a kitten who’s just found the sofa to scratch or a senior cat who needs more thorough check-ups, insurance can give you peace of mind for those day-to-day uncertainties.

Maine Coon health concerns.

Below is a quick look at the typical conditions and potential treatment costs for this pedigree cat, along with how our insurance covers them. Actual prices can vary, but we hope this table gives you a starting point for comparing your options.

Condition

Condition Explanation

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

A heart condition that causes thickening of the heart muscles, often leading to fatigue, breathlessness, or fainting. Ongoing monitoring, medication, and tests are typically needed.

Hip Dysplasia

A joint abnormality where the hip doesn't sit properly in the socket. It can cause pain, lameness, and may require surgery or physiotherapy.

Ear or Skin Infections

Common in many breeds, especially those with allergies. Symptoms include redness, itching, and discharge. Treated with tests, medications, and follow-ups.

Dental Issues

Gum disease, broken teeth, or infections are common and painful. Treatment can include cleaning or extractions if advised by a vet.

We know that not everything is covered by any insurance plan out there, but we aim to provide cover for the treatments that really matter to owners of this remarkable cat breed.

Comparing types of cat insurance.

When you compare pet insurance, you’ll likely see terms like “accident-only” or “Lifetime coverage.”

Since Maine Coons can be bigger, older, and more susceptible to specific health woes, many owners lean towards Lifetime cover.

This plan can help cover the cost of recurring issues that might pop up each year.

However, let's look at the different types of insurance so you can see what fits your situation best:

Policy type

Description

Accident-only

Covers injuries from accidents like falls or bites. Does not cover illnesses.

Usually, the most affordable option.

Time-limited

Covers accidents and illnesses up to a set payout per condition. Coverage ends when the limit is reached or after a fixed period (e.g., 12 months).

Good for one-off treatments.

Maximum-benefit

Covers accidents and illnesses up to an overall annual or per-condition cap. Once you hit the cap, you must pay all further costs.

Offers more flexibility than time-limited plans.

Lifetime coverage

Covers accidents and illnesses with yearly benefit renewals. Benefits reset each policy year, even for chronic conditions. Ideal for breeds like Maine Coons prone to recurring issues.

Practical tips: Caring for your “gentle giant”.

Maine Coons are affectionate, so they might chase you around the house seeking a conversation. Some owners even joke that their big cat tries to “chat” with them at dinnertime.

With that in mind, a few practical pointers can make all the difference:

Pay attention to grooming. A gentle giant with a long, luscious coat needs regular brushing to keep knots at bay. If you’re curious about the best ways to look after that mane, check out our handy cat grooming guide tips.

Keep up with check-ups. Preventative care can stop small issues from becoming big troubles. Talking to your veterinary experts helps you spot signs of health problems early.

Give them space. Maine Coons might be large, but they love having their own cosy nooks. Set aside a corner of your home where your cat can nap, graze, or just watch the birds outside.

Don’t overlook dosing schedules. Treatments like wormers and flea preventatives can be tough to remember, so set reminders on your phone.
