Ragdoll Cats: Everyone’s Favourite Feline

Ragdolls are a fave kitty, and for good reason too!
They are endlessly cuddly, sweet, and have super patient nature. They’re also popular because of their exceptionally chilled out vibe — they literally let you pick them up and carry them around anytime!

When you’ve got a Ragdoll, you should get familiar with the breed-specific health problems that can pop up. This will make sure you’re fully prepped for any medical emergencies. Some major things to look out for include:

  • Heart problems
  • Kidney disease
  • Bladder stones
  • Gastrointestinal conditions
  • Hip dysplasia
  • Obesity



    • Get your fur baby the exact coverage suited to their unique health needs with our breed-specific policies at PetsOnMe. Check out all our different levels of cover today.

    Why Choose Breed-Specific Ragdoll Coverage?

    Enjoy a bunch of eligible claims just for your Ragdoll kitty.

    Your fur baby gets covered for up to 80% of breed-specific vet treatments, meaning you'll never pay out of pocket for the full bill again.

    We dish out an annual benefit limit of up to $20,000, so you'll never need to worry about access to vet treatments again.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    Can I Get Covered for Vet Bills Issued Before My Policy Started?

    Unfortunately, you can't get reimbursed for any vet bills you got before your PetsOnMe Ragdoll policy kicked in because these count as pre-existing conditions. But, the second your policy is active, you can claim back up to 80% of eligible, breed-specific vet bills, so you needn't worry about being out of pocket in the future.

    The sooner you get your fur baby covered, the less likely you are to pay for pre-existing conditions out of pocket, so make sure you get covered ASAP!

    Are Ragdolls More Prone to Health Issues Than Other Breeds?

    Ragdolls have their own set of breed-specific health risks, but this doesn't mean they are particularly sickly kitties. Some key things to look out for include heart problems), kidney issues, bladder stones, gastrointestinal conditions, hip dysplasia, and obesity.

    What's the Most Amount of Coverage My Ragdoll Cat Can Get At PetsOnMe?

    For the most coverage, go for our Deluxe Ragdoll Plan. This option is the full package, covering everything from select breed-specific conditions and specialised therapies for accidental injuries and illnesses to prescribed medication, certain dental treatments, and even third-party liability — you're definitely getting your money's worth with this one!

    How Soon Can I Get My Ragdoll Kitty Insured with PetsOnMe?

    Your little fur baby can get covered on any one of our plans as soon as they hit the 6-week age mark.

    With our pet insurance cover, we give pet parents two whole months free for kitties under 1 year and one full month on the house for cats aged 1 and over as a little treat to say thank you. If you're making the switch to PetsOnMe, we'll knock out our waiting periods as long as you've held an uninterrupted policy for a year or more with your last insurer.

    Are Ragdolls Really High Maintenance Cats?

    In terms of their personalities, Ragdolls are super easy-going and chilled out, making them a breeze to care for. You don't need to worry about any temper tantrums, crazy behaviour, or aggression when you've got one of these angelic little fur babies. When it comes to physical health, these kitties do need some extra pampering — after all, that luscious coat isn't going to stay fluffy on its own!

    Regular grooming, a nutritionally balanced diet, lots of cuddles and playtime, up-to-date vaccinations, and regular vet check ups are all the main ingredients to a happy and healthy Ragdoll.
