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. In fact, the first VPI Pet Insurance policy was issued to television’ s“ Lassie.” Our track record of protecting dogs, cats and exotics has earned us the reputation as the largest pet insurer in the U. 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.
Founded in part by 750 veterinarians in 1980, their influence, guidance and support have helped make us the industry leader. To date, VPI employs 11 veterinarians and more than 90 experienced veterinary technicians and assistants, each with vast knowledge of veterinary medicine and a deep adoration for animals.
