EXCELLENT SERVICE - VPI for BELLA the BULLDOG

We have had VPI since Bella the Bulldog was a puppy. VPI has a consistent review, communication, and reimbursement process that has been very helpful and timely to caring for our pet. VPI covered her entire ACL surgery and hospitalization for double pneumonia. We were thankful for the financial security while we dealt with our family pet's medical issues. 2 Thumbs up from Bella the Bulldog & Longwell Family

Very Nice Company. Been with you 12 years.

Everything went well. The amount of the proceedure was $495.00 and I received $300.00. I wish it was alittle more, however it was fair.

A life saver... Literally

Getting pet insurance is the best decision Ive ever made for my pets. I learned the hard way by going through a tough situation with a dog that ended up passing. I was unable to afford a 5k surgery and had to make the hardest decision as a pet owner. Now my two cats both have insurance through VPI. As rescues you never know what type of health issues may arise. I've never had to submit a claim for one and the other has needs lots of medical attention. VPI has allowed me to give them both the best care possible. You never know what will happen and the policies are very affordable and a small price for peace of mind.

Be VERY AWARE of renewal dates

DO NOT have any wellness/vaccinations/etc prior to renewal date. One claim per policy year or it is NOT covered. Diva was four days early and NO coverage for policy year. Loyal pet customer for ten years and no grace period. I am NOT a satisfied client even though I should have watched date!!!

better than I every imagined!

My big tabby began sneezing and coughing a lot. He is now my inside/outside pet, after spending at least 2 years outside on my patio and not being fed while I took care of an inside cat with many health problems. He began sneezing and coughing, so I took him to my regular vet, who had a blood test that proved he has FIV. After an $88 vet bill I submitted a bill to VPI, and was very pleased to receive a check for $55. It was much more than I expected.
