- What is Pet Insurance? Pet Insurance is very similar to human health insurance which offers a range of programs tailored to suit the needs of domestic pets. While pet insurance remains a relatively underdeveloped product in North America, with less than 1% of all pets being insured, European levels of insured pets range from 12% to 50%.

- Why do I need Pet Insurance? Advances in the field of animal medicine have been exponential in past decades allowing veterinarians to successfully treat conditions that were previously considered untreatable. However with these advances comes an escalating cost of veterinary care. It is estimated that North American pet guardians now spend over $10 billion a year on healthcare for their pets.

Sophistication In Medical Care For Pets Is Rising – And So Are Costs
(NAPSI) - There's good news for pet owners who want to give their pets the best medical care available. Many procedures once performed only on humans -- chemotherapy, diagnostic testing via ultrasound, arthroscopic surgery, CAT scans, pacemaker implants and kidney transplants -- are now being provided to pets. And pet insurance plans are a good way to help defray some of the costs.
As medical treatment for pets grows more sophisticated, the costs associated with some treatments can increase as well. In addition, the success of these and other procedures is giving many pets an increased life span. While this is good news for many owners, it can also come with additional medical concerns related to old age that could result in increased veterinary costs.
Experts say Americans recently spent more than $20 billion on veterinary services for dogs, cats and birds in a single year, up 83 percent from 1996. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals reports that costs alone for an exam, vaccinations and heartworm medications average $310 annually for a standard-sized canine. Fortunately, a growing number of pet owners are finding they can do a better job of managing some of these costs by purchasing insurance policies designed for pets.
VPI Pet Insurance alleviates the costs associated with diagnostic tests, treatments, office visits, lab fees, prescriptions, hospitalization, X-rays, and surgical procedures. Plus, thousands of illnesses and accidents are covered by VPI Pet Insurance policies, and reimbursements are provided for many of the sophisticated testing and treatment procedures associated with these conditions. Additional benefits may be available for specialized diagnostic tests, such as ultrasound or MRI, or if a pet is referred to a board-certified specialist.
All VPI Pet Insurance plans cover cancer. Since the treatments are as advanced as with human medical care, the carrier offers an additional, low-cost rider that enhances the plan's benefit schedule cancer allowances.
Pet owners with insured pets can visit any licensed veterinarian in the world and still receive the benefits specific to their policy. After a veterinarian visit, a simple claim form is submitted to the insurance company by the policyholder and the pet owner receives reimbursement.
