The VPI ® Pet Insurance advantage :
Nearly 30 years ago , VPI pioneered an invaluable product for America ’ s pet owners : medical insurance for companion animals . Pet health insurance in America was designed with the motivation to help pet owners everywhere afford the best possible veterinary care .

S . Since 1982 , we ’ ve insured more than 1 million pets .
Pets are unpredictable . While it ’ s hard to anticipate accidents and illnesses , you can be prepared for them . From routine office visits to significant medical incidents , VPI Pet Insurance helps provide protection for your pet when he or she needs it most . With affordable , comprehensive healthcare coverage for dogs , cats , exotic pets , a VPI policy is the smart way to protect your pet ’ s health – and your checkbook .
