Helped me cover some pretty serious bills.
Last winter my dog decided it would be smart to eat a christmas garland. After a week or so of him acting weird, I took him to the vet and the metal part had become entangled in his digestive tract. We were going to have to pony up $3k to have surgery. Without VPI I'm not sure if we could have had the surgery. Reimbursement was super easy, we just had the vet fill out the paper work and we were good. Since then, I've recommended VPI to anyone who will listen, so if you're listening, give them a shot. I'm glad I did!

Best investment for dog owners.
My little guy Cootey was born with weak stifle's. By two years of age, he blew out his first cranial cruciate ligament and lateral meniscus. The bill for the surgical repair was $ 2500. VPI paid $2400 of the claim. I was amazed. Then believe it or not, four months after the first knee he blew out the other knees cranial cruciate ligament. Total rupture. The bill was $ 2400. VPI paid $ 2300 on the claim. Amazed again. I tell all my friends that my dogs have better health care coverage than I do. VPI is excellent and a great choice for dog owners. I can't thank them enough for taking care of my little Cotey as well as they did. I recommend them to everyone I meet.

Satisfied
When our little dog, Annabelle, had to have surgery, I submitted her bills and they were paid right away. I appreciate that.

Really Glad we had VPI
We adopted Chickadee about a year ago, and friends with pets encouraged us to get VPI. I am very grateful for that advice, because she ended up needing to have a tooth out, which was really expensive. In addition to covering the annual vaccines and check-up, VPI covered most of the tooth extraction, saving us over $600. The claim process was very quick and convenient to do, and we received the reimbursement within a week.
