Jake’s Travel “Tail”
Jake’s Emergency Survival Story
It was the second day of our 10-day hunting trip in Montana when Jake got some type of sharp sliver between the web of his paw. When his foot swelled, I tried to treat it myself, but when that failed I went to the closest vet—27 miles away.
Jake needed surgery but the vet couldn’t do it, so I drove another 80 miles to a vet who was available.
After returning to California, I submitted the claim form to VPI. The service by VPI was prompt and efficient, and we’re grateful Jake’s policy can travel with us.

*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.
