Honest and caring company
Many months (over a year) after the death of my pet I discovered I had not cancelled my coverage or filed many stale claims. When I contacted customer service, they quickly offered to refund all premiums since the death of my pet and also express their sympathy for my lost. When I told them I had claims for many claims over a year old they said, no problem, send them in. Well I never expected to hear back from them. I was wrong, they credited my credit card account with all the premiums overpaid promptly and processed many years of claims within the month. These are honest and caring people.

VPI has poor, complicated coverage
I am a veterinarian and would NOT recommend VPI to any pet owner. The Benefits schedule is very confusing to pet owners and does not provide adequate coverage. Go with a company that provides simple reimbursement plans. Recently I had to refer my own cat to a specialist for cancer. The VPI process was extremely frustrating and time consuming. A similar situation happen with my other cat that had a fever of unknown origin.

Disappointing and not worth the money.
I got VPI INSURANCE WHEN I adooted my sweet dog at age 1. She's 9 now and she's great but this insurance is terrible. My dog has had several bouts if pancreatitis so unfortunately I've had need of my insurance. I didn't read the fine print and there wasn't much competition when I got VPI insurance. They don't pay a percentage of your actual bill. They pay a percentage of what THEY DECIDE your bill should be, even if no vet in your area charges that little. The ACTUAL reimbursement I've gotten is closer to 20% , nowhere near the 80% I thought I signed up for. They do pay and they're friendly and they send my dog a birthday card. But financially VPI was a terrible choice.

I trust VPI to cover many expenses for my pet.
My 6 yr old lab mix had diarrhea. VPI reimbursed 44%. I am glad I have pet insurance.
