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.

Great customer service
Great customer service - when my 2year old lab had to have CCL repair- VPI were so reassuring and helpful- no stuck in the loop phone call- a real person who went overboard explains my policy.Very timely re imbursement - all health care should have such customer service!

Score!!!!!
I have an 11 month old English Mastiff. I decided to purchase pet insurance because, with his size, any procedure or expense is super-sized. Boy am I glad I did! I got FULL coverage, both wellness and illness. He recently became extremely ill with an infection in his tail that left him unable to eat or walk. What peace of mind I had, knowing that my vet could take the necessary steps to effectively treat him and that money was not the deciding factor in his treatment. I had him neutered and micro-chipped while he was under for the tail amputation. He is now fully recovered (minus a tail)and happy as a giant puppy can be. Claim submitting has been super easy and the people at VPI are not nit picky and confrontational as I feared they might be. I feared that I'd have to fight and justify every expense or visit to the vet. But NO, I've never had to further explain any of the the 3 claims I've made, I just send them in, then in about a month, a check or explanation letter comes.
