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.

Amazing service

I have adopted a maltipoo one yea ago, and I have VPI almost since then. Pepe (my little baby) has a lot of energy, and he is very curious, so, he had experience a couple of issues in the last months. I didn't know what to expect the first time I submitted a claim, but it was super fast and easy. I thought that maybe was the first one, but I had three different claims after that for different things, and VPI always answer in an efficient and fast way. I am so happy I have the support of VPI and I would recommend VPI to every dog or cat owner.

wonderful company

I have 3 doxies. Honey is a certified therapy dog with health problems with allergies, diabetes from prednisone with catarct removal and then a thrown disc. Was happy that most of my bills have been covered. She is a happy little girl that brings smiles to patients in hospitals and nursing homes along with sleeping thru a Pittsburgh Pirate pup night at the ball game. Spike is her cousin, has allergies as well, recently diagnosed with cushing's along with a small leiomyosarcoma that was removed several years ago. Harley, is a rescue smooth, doing well, on his way to be a therapy dog as well.
