Life saver

They were amazing. My day had total acl reconstruction and re-attachment and they paid for most of it. They were amazing. I couldn't have had the surgery for my hunting buddy without vpi's help.

Emergency trip covered

I had to take my French bulldog to an emergency vet while we were traveling. He had been throwing up and wouldn't eat his dinner. Found out he has pancreatitis and had to stay there for 48 hours of treatment. VPI covered nearly everything of the $1,100.00 bill. Needless to say I'm happy with the plan so far.

Best insurance coverage ever!

My 15 month old Labrador Retriever, yellow female had bilateral TPLO surgery. She was diagnosed at 13 months with ligament problems. She was in a lot of pain and had to drop out of her dog class and therapy dog visits. We had the surgery done and was so grateful for the coverage she received from VPI. All of our past 3 Labradors over the years have all been covered with Major Medical and the Wellness package. So worth it. It is always nice to see the checks come in for reimbursement. Not enough pets have coverage and they should as you never know when the unexpected is going to happen.

Excellent Customer Service

I recently submitted a claim for my 6 year old Springer Spaniel and was reimbursed everything except my deductible. Dealing with their customer service people over the phone is always easy and I have been a happy customer since ginger was a puppy.

As your pet goes old they dont reimburse

From all the review I am seeing as soon as your pet turns above of age 8, they stop reimbursing funds. I am a customer for last 4 years and now dog is 9 yr and they are not reimbursing as much they are supposed to and they do not want to upgrade the policy because your dog is old. They refused to upgrade only because my pet had cellulitis . Seriously, come on. I think it was my worst decision to join vpi.
