Love this insurance - VPI

We have had VPI since 2006 and have been very satisfied with them. Our little female became ill in October of 2014. We have paid over $4000 (tests, treatments, medicines) and have receive all but maybe $1000 back, and that was explained well in the EOB. They have been very easy to work with and easy to file claims. I would recommend VPI to everyone that has a pet.

Best thing that ever happened to me and my dog

This insurance is the best. I never had pet insurance before but am sure glad I went with VPI. They are courteous, fast at responding and reasonable in price. I can't tell you how comfortable I feel with them. They are A+ in my book.

VPI is great

Just as you would provide Health insurance for you children, you should provide the same for your pets because they are family too. I purchased Veterinary Pet Insurance and made an investment in my family. Now, I no longer fear the unexpected cost associated with their care. The insurance is well worth the purchase. The company is professional, extremely efficient and understands the cost associated with medical services for your pet. I have filed many claims since joining VPI, and the amount of money refunded has been unbeliveable. Do the right thing for your family and invest in their care.

VPI is really saving us!

I have nothing but good things to say about VPI. We had a different insurance when we first adopted our dog--a rescue who was 5. I switched to VPI because I had heard good things, and they have been fantastic. Chester had no care the first half of his life, and had a few medical issues when we first brought him home. Now, he is a senior, and with that, came arthritis, thyroid problems, and now heart problems. We have had some really big bills of late, and VPI has been reimbursing in a very timely manner, and covering quite a bit. It has paid for itself and then some. I am so thankful we have the cushion of knowing we have coverage!
