Pet Insurance Buyer’s Guide

We take your pet’s health as seriously as you do. That’s why we want you to know all the facts about pet insurance before choosing a provider.

10 Things to Ask Before Buying Pet Insurance

  1. Q1. Does the company have stability and proven success?

    A. VPI Pet Insurance is the nation’s oldest and largest provider and has served more than one million pet owners since 1982. Be sure to find out how long the other companies you’re researching have been in business. Have they been around long enough to have insured the lifetime health of even one pet?

  2. Q2. Does the company employ certified and trained professionals?
  3. Q3. Does the company receive veterinary recognition?
  4. Q4. Are you offered annual policies with honest renewal terms?

Facts and Myths About Pet Insurance

Myth: Pet insurance works like an HMO.
Fact: No, pet insurance and HMOs work very differently. With a VPI policy you can:
  • See any licensed veterinarian worldwide versus seeing only certain doctors.
  • Pay at the time of service versus making a co-payment.
  • File a VPI claim for reimbursement versus using a medical card and number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I file a claim?

  1. Pay for your pet’s treatment at the time of service.
  2. Fax or mail our easy-to-use claim form along with your receipts.
  3. Once your policy’s deductible is met, you are reimbursed according to your plan’s benefit schedule or your submitted expense—which ever is less.
