Beau’s Race Against Time
Beau’s Emergency Survival Story
After discovering a crumpled metal mess on the floor, we realized Beau had decided to taste test one of our son’s toy race cars. A few days later, we realized he must have ingested one of the cars when his health began to rapidly decline.
During surgery, 42 metal toy race car pieces and a dish towel we didn’t even know was missing were removed. The vet said the towel saved his life by cushioning the metal!
Not only did Beau recover, we got a lot of our money back. I’m so glad I have VPI and I’m sure Beau is, too.

*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.
