Ellie's Testimonial An Emergency Survival Story

"Last Christmas, some friends of ours gave us a couple chew toys for our Labradors, Ellie and Meme. After a few days, the chew toys disappeared and we thought the dogs had simply lost them in the yard. Then we noticed that Ellie didn’t look so good. She wasn’t eating or going to the bathroom.

"We took her to the vet and after a barium test he decided she was going to need surgery. Well, pretty soon we found out what happened to the chew toy! The surgery ended up costing $1265.91. We told our friends, “Wow, a $1300 chew toy, what a great Christmas gift!” We submitted the claim to VPI and we were pleasantly surprised when we got our reimbursement check: $1035.82. I’ve been a policyholder for a while, but I’ve never been so thankful for VPI. Everything was easy and the money back was greatly appreciated. Thank you, VPI!"

VPI reimbursed Ellie's family $1,035 for her procedures.

*Veterinary fees vary state to state, per your veterinarian’s discretion. **The benefit allowance amount replenishes with each new incident and with each new annual policy renewal. 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.
