In my surfing travels, I have yet to find a pet insurance company that insures ferrets up here in the Great White North. The response over all seems to be based on supply and demand... and frankly, none of the insurance companies I wrote to felt that ferrets were that common. One of the companies explained it this way: "In order for any insurance product to be successful, there are two fundamental things that are necessary. One is critical mass; and the other is the actuarial data required to support your product. Pet Plan has now reached this stage with our current products and we are growing at a rate that will enable us to continue to offer high end quality products and extremely reasonable prices. Unfortunately, we would not be able to do this with a new species. You see, there is insufficient actuarial data to support an insurance product's structure, not just with ferrets but others like rabbits and hamsters also. I'm not familiar with any company that offers comprehensive accident and illness protection for ferrets although I'm aware of protection that is available for rabbits in the UK where pet insurance has been available for probably 25 years.. Pet Plan Canada will not likely expand its insurance line until more sophisticated information is available and the product's benefits can be justified to our underwriters." This particular insurance company has an affiliate in the UK and I thought that since they insure ferrets in the UK, as per the Pet Plan UK site, that they would insure ferrets in Canada. No go. If any other canuck has found a pet insurance company that insures our fuzzy friends, please drop me a line. I know a few people that are at least interested in knowing how much it will cost. Thanks Betty and Her Blur O'Fur For the Love of Ferrets... [Posted in FML issue 3082]
