Thankful owner.. says thank you!

The process was so easy, what started as a horrible experience when a puppy was rushed to the vet, ended with a more than positive outcome. Booty Juice is once again healthy and happy and VPI made the entire process seamless. Thank you again!!

Awesome insurance!

We're very satisfied with VPI. I've recommended you to several of our friends with pets. The claims are always processed timely and our reimbursements have been awesome. We can't say enough good things about you! We had often thought about pet insurance with other pets but never did anything about it. It's very well worth it!! We have submitted 3 claims and gotten reimbursed 3/4 of each one. It doesn't get any better than that. We will probably go to the medical insurance when Ladybug is older.

Very happy with VPI

I have had animals for years and have spent a lot of money on vet bills so when I got a new puppy in 2012 I decided to try getting insurance. Since that worked out well with the care plan and the comprehensive plan, I enrolled our older German Shepherd and a few months after that she needed surgery on a burst disc. VPI paid over 1/2 of that expensive procedure. To me, that was impressive and they always pay the claims quickly and with no issues. I am happy to have any amount reimbursed and wish I could have the same kind of thing for my horses! I have now added my new kitten to the plan and have already had to use the insurance - again with quick reimbursement and no questions asked. Every person I have spoken to at VPI has been extremely polite and helpful. I am very happy with my experiences.

awesome

Zeus is a special bread of a dog being a Giant Schnauzer who is very active. Having need surgery was the tough decision to make and put a pet through that. They just don't understand what's going on and the cost is crazy. Torn tendon is a bad deal which could tear completely. I am thankful for VIP Pet Insurance it made the decision much easier. Highly recommend VIP you never know what can happen to your pet who is a member of your family.

Thank Goodness For VPI

We had just gotten a new puppy and got her insurance and never had insurance on our older dog so we got him insurance at the same time. Thank goodness! About a month after he ended up having to have 3 herniated discs repaired. At first I didn't think they would cover any of it because we were a brand new customer, so I called and they said they covered so much of the MRI, hospitalization, surgery, labs etc. and I thought hmmmm We will see after the claim is filed and we get it back. Wow was I impressed. The bill for everything was over $7,000.00 and the reimbursed us over $4500.00 of it, I was so impressed. They continue to impress me with their handling of claims. Wish I would have invested sooner. It is a godsend. Searched around other insurers and VPI was the best as far as coverage and price. Love them!
