Sara’s Sudden Illness
Sara’s Emergency Survival Story
I became a policyholder after adopting Sara and only used VPI for routine checkups until Sara suddenly became ill. The veterinarian wasn’t sure if she had an obstruction and suggested running a barium test, which I didn’t hesitate to do. Sara’s a part of our family, and we knew we had insurance to help with the bill.
Luckily she didn’t have an obstruction but was diagnosed with gastritis a few weeks later. Gratefully, she has recovered. Thank you, VPI; you make caring for our beloved pets easier knowing you are there to help with the bills!

*Veterinary fees vary state to state, per your veterinarian’s discretion.
**The benefit allowance amount replenishes with each new incident or with each new annual policy renewal, depending on the policy type selected. An incident is a new condition that causes you to consult a veterinarian. Chronic or ongoing conditions, such as allergic dermatitis, are considered to be one incident no matter how many times a veterinarian is consulted.
†VPI pays 90% of covered veterinary expenses up to the benefit schedule allowance, or 90% of your covered invoice amount, whichever is less, minus your $50 per-incident deductible.
