Thank you, VPI!!

We have two pitbulls, and signed up with VPI about a year ago. Little did we know that just a little over a year later, our youngest would be diagnosed with a tumor that required the removal of her tail. VPI covered every claim I submitted for every last penny, and turned what could have been a financial disaster (or worse yet, an emotional one), into a stress-free situation. Thank you again, VPI!

Very thankful for our vets and VPI

My Great Dane developed Gastris Dilation and Volulus (commonly called Bloat). I am very thankful for the vets who care for our furry and feathered animal friends. I'm also very grateful for the easy claim forms and quick response from VPI. It's wonderful to have kind people in the world. Thank you from my heart.

Happy to know I have a Pet Insurance that works

I have had VPI Pet Insurance for at least 14 years. I have never had an issue with submitting or payment of a claim and have and will continue to recommend this insurance for other pet owners.

Very Satisfied!

We have always had St. Bernards and at the present time, we have two. The thing they all had in common is they are Saints and they are insured with VPI. Our first St. had to have two knee surgeries and both went very well both for our Saint and how VPI handled the claim. Tobi our female we have now was hit by a snowmobile when she was 7 months old, breaking her back right leg badly. The surgery could only be handled by a specialist (if she ever would have any hope of it growing properly or being able to walk on it). After all was said and done the vet bills were about $6,000, VPI paid just over $4,000 of her claim. They were a life saver. Our girl is perfect now and has not trouble with her leg! A few months ago both our female and male (JJ & Tobi) got into something that made them very sick and our vet thinks they had mold poisoning. Again, their vet bills were significant, but VPI came through and paid a significant portion of the bills and in a timely manner. Pet owners, it is a no brainer, get your pet insured. It gives you a great sense of comfort knowing that if something happens you will be able to get them the care they need. We will never not have this insurance.

LOVE VPI

VPI has truly saved us! We have an english bulldog and VPI has proved invaluable to us. I have recommended to anyone I know getting a puppy. Customer Service is great and respond quickly.
