| Pet Insurance? Any suggestions for pet insurance? Is it worth it or not? In the paperwork that came with my dog the complany VPI Insurance was mentioned. Any experience with them? Thanks a lot. I'd like this little guy to be with me for a long time. |

I have VPI and we just used the plan for an emergency. Our plan was effective 10/17/09. Jersey Boy broke his leg 11/09/09 the cost for the surgery was 3123.50 and VPI is reimbursing $1671.00. I am pleased with the reimbursement | |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I have VPI and have been happy. I know some will cover genetic diseases but VPI doesn't.

| Your best bet is to call around and get quotes from different companies, they will go over plans--I know some will cover your heartworm and flea meds, yearly vax, dental cleanings, and some I think even do boarding. I am not sure what the average cost is, if I didn't work at a vet's office-I'd get insurance. Good luck. |

| Have you taken a look at the Trupanion website? Trupanion Pet Insurance | Pet Health Insurance for your Dog or Cat I have pet insurance with them and I have no complaints. I know their website it allows you to do a free quote online so you can definitely check there to see how much it will cost you each month. What I do like about them is that they do pay 90% of the bill and you can pick out your own deductible (I would call and talk to a specialist to see what is better to either have a high deductible or a lower one) I hope this helps! I definitely recommend them! |

| I have VPI Insurance I have had it for my little guy Max for 6 years, I have been pleased with them . I never had any problems with them and they do process very quickly.. Recently found out that inherited diseases are not covered at all. My Max was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation which is not covered at all. He had brian surgery 4 weeks ago very costly but I'm thankful he is still in my life and doing fine. Overall I do believe they are a good insurance company and very helpful. |
