Cosmo’s Close Call
Cosmo’s Emergency Survival Story
While playing in the park, Cosmo suddenly dropped his ball, and started pacing and dry heaving. We rushed him to our vet clinic immediately. He was suffering from gastro dilation vovulous, a very acute, critical stomach bloat typical in large breed dogs.
Within 30 minutes, Cosmo was in surgery. His stomach was surgically repaired, he received two transfusions and was treated for lethargy and dehydration.
We would have done the surgery regardless, but knowing that I had VPI Pet Insurance made a terrible situation better. It is a bargain for the peace of mind you have knowing VPI is there to help.

VPI reimbursed the Layton family $2,355 for Cosmo’s procedures

*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.
