Maine Coon Insurance Overview

Maine Coons are the largest domestic cat breed and are unfortunately prone to several hereditary conditions. HCM and hip dysplasia are the most common concerns. Their large size also means higher medication and anaesthetic costs compared to smaller cats.

Insurance Tips for Maine Coon Owners

  • Heart screening is recommended — HCM is very common in Maine Coons
  • Hip dysplasia is unusual in cats but common in this breed — ensure it is covered
  • Larger cats need higher medication doses — factor this into vet fee limits
  • Genetic testing by breeders reduces (but does not eliminate) HCM risk
