Thankful for Pet Insurance

Prissy, my precious Bichon Frise, had to have cruciate ligament surgery on her hind leg. When the Vet told me the price of the surgery, I was hoping that her pet insurance would cover a lot of the cost. When I called the insurance company, they told me that the insurance would cover all but the deductible of $250. I was very pleasantly surprised and very thankful as I knew that I would have to borrow money if I had to cover the cost of the surgery. I am very pleased with Prissy's insurance. I had actually thought of dropping it before I knew she needed this surgery. I am very thankful that I did not drop it. Prissy is 13 years old, so I anticipate her having medical problems as she gets older. Right now, her health is great. Thank you Nationwide for this pet insurance program. Judy Hames

glad i have insurance

This is the first pet I've had (she's number 64) that has had major problems continuously. Bought insurance for her about 4 years ago with VPI and have been very satisfied with their service. The cost of the insurance has been made up by the coverage of the vet fees. For me, it's really peace of mind.

Worst Pet Insurance Company

My pup was diagnosed with renal failure and was hospitalized for 9 days-he was on his death bed but he was our baby and he was getting better with treatment-his bill was over $10,000 VPI proudly reimbursed me 10%-his care was only worth $680 after months of disputing the reimbursement I gave up and my babies are currently enrolled with Healthy Paws. The reason we get insurance is to ensure our pets get the best care possible without the owners going into debt. In the 2 1/2 years I have yet to break even on what I paid in premiums consider it my gift to this "pet insurance company"

So thankful for VPI

You have to love and accept your pup for who they are and our little girl, Pickles (a Whoodle - Wheaten/Poodle), is something special. Super sweet, loveable, playful, and has major stomach issues. This starting happening at about 8 months with multiple vet visits, x-rays, surgery, food changes, etc to get to the bottom of it. We are so thankful that VPI has been along for the ride covering a majority of our vet bills that have been related to her stomach issues. The claim process couldn't be easier and now our vet even submits on our behalf.
