Saved me over $2k

My Irish Wolfhound puppy ate part of a corncob and needed emergency surgury to remove it. Since he was under anesthisia I had his stomach stapled(prevent blout), and nuetered at that time. The bill was just over $3000. VPI payed me just over $2500 in less than two weeks. Not to mention what Ive saved on puppy shots, maintenance meds, etc... I will always have all my pets insured.

Peace Of Mind

VPI had been recommended to us by our Vet whom we've had for nearly 20 years. He' never steered us wrong, so we felt confident in acting upon his recommendation. After having submitted our first two claims, the quick response and professional handling of our claims, has more than validated our choice. Have no fear! This company is top notch and responsive to their clients, both human and animal.

yes im glad i have Vip insurance

My dog got so sick with pancretites and had to go to the hospital for 4 days, didn't even know if she would make it, the bill was over 4000. and VIP paid just about the whole bill. They have always paid good, I have had them for years, I recommend them. But if your dog has a pre existing condition, they will not pay for that!

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.
