Very Happy

VPI Insurance has been a god send. They are prompt with their payments and very fair with the claims. Both of our dogs are insured and we are very happy with everything.

What a help! SO worth it!

I have two English Bulldogs and have had to use me Nationwide pet insurance twice now. It is so worth the money. I can't imagine going anywhere else. You submit a claim and within 30 days or so they process it and pay you. I can't thank them enough!

You guys are the best.

Hi, It is with the deepest heartbreak that I have to tell you that Lily was put to sleep on Friday june 8th. My little one was declawed on may 7th. Something went wrong but she stopped breathing and her heart stopped for 3 minutes. After an hour and a half of using a breathing device she began to breathe. She was rushed to the VMC in East Islip where she was in the Emergency room for 2 weeks. Lily was now blind and brain damaged. The Animal Hospital that did the surgery told me they are picking up the tab, over $11,000. For the next 3 weeks i had her at home at night and at the Animal Hospital during the day. This was not lily anymore, she could not be touched,she went wild, It was almost impossible to feed her and give her her medicine. There were also other issues aside from her blindness. She was rescued from a freezing cold fire escape in the 81st precinct in Brooklyn NY. They called Animal Control and she would have had a few days before being put down. My son who is a police officer stopped them and brought her home to us. We have always had a black cat rescue with us, one lived for 23 years and another for 15 years with Diabetes that she and I both fought. My heart is broken because Lily was the epitome of what a cat should be. Friendly, curious, loved to play. But her little life was cut short at 1 and a half years. I blame myself because I felt that something was not right with the decision to declaw her but i brought her anyway. I will never forgive myself and still ask Lily to forgive me. I'm sorry to take up your time. I will fax the whole hospital information to you. Can I send the last bill for her euthanasia. Please advise on what to do next. Thank you for reaching out.
