Easy and Satisfied with Service

The claim process was straight forward and fast. I filled out the claim form and emailed it over. I got a confirmation that it was received and shortly after that I received my reimbursement back. Will continue to use VPI.

Grateful to have VPI

I am so grateful to have VPI Major Medical Plan. My dog had to have a TPLO for her complete ACL tear. The procedure was expensive but VPI covered everything minus the tax (but who cares!) If you love your pet and think in the future, VPI is way to go.

Satisfied with service

Overall, we were satisfied with the company but it took a little longer than I had expected and required me calling VPI a couple of times to inquire about the status of the claim.

Straightforward, no hassle experience

We had no problem filing our claim, the paper work and procedures were self explanatory, and we recieved the reimbursement before we had to pay our credit card bill. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised that all but $100 of the bill was covered by VPI, which was nearly $2000. We hope we won't be needing to rely on VPI any time soon, however, VPI allows us to keep our peace of mind in case something does.

VPI Customer for Over 12 Years

I have been part of the VPI family for over 12 years and I use the word family, because that is how they treat you. We have had major medical issues with our pet's in the past and VPI and their employees have been so great to us. Not many companies these days treat you this way it's refreshing. If you have a pet and you love them like family as we do sign up for VPI to help you take the best care possible of your pet.
