Great Experience

My 10 year old Golden Retriever Jack tore his ACL and had major surgery to repair. I have had VPI insurance for over 5 years, but had never used it. Within 3 days of Jack's tear, he was in for surgery, my Vet filed the paperwork the next day and I received a claim check within 2 weeks. I agree with other reviewers on this page, that you should do your due diligence on the policy and understand the reimbursement. I did not and once I started reading the policy, I had low expectations. Jack's surgery was over $4,000 and in the end I received all but a small deductable. I couldn't be happier with the claim process and outcome.

vpi is the best

Read your ins policy. Angus had an hemangioma which was not properly treated after his surgery which left us with multiple vet visits till it became an emergency vet visit. VPI ins helped pay most of the caim. Angus was only 4 years old. He is just fine now. Thanks VPI.

Honest and caring company

Many months (over a year) after the death of my pet I discovered I had not cancelled my coverage or filed many stale claims. When I contacted customer service, they quickly offered to refund all premiums since the death of my pet and also express their sympathy for my lost. When I told them I had claims for many claims over a year old they said, no problem, send them in. Well I never expected to hear back from them. I was wrong, they credited my credit card account with all the premiums overpaid promptly and processed many years of claims within the month. These are honest and caring people.
