    Absolutely! I use VPI. I got it for Cody when he was 4 weeks old. I have the superior plan. It paid for almost the entire huge bill when Cody was dying from cancer. You can't use it with a pre-existing condition. The price goes up yearly based on the dog's age. You have to pay the vet then submit a form. Thankfully I haven't needed it for Logan yet, and pray that I don't. I'm still glad I have it. I think the website is www.vpi.com

    After my experience with Cally (large vet bills after 14 healthy years!) I decided to insure both Tobey and Brody.... hopefully this will mean that they will be the healthiest animals ever and I won't have to make any claims

    I've asked this same question on a number of other pet forums I post on and while VPI seems to be popular and the best choice as far as insurance goes, I've had an overwhelming response that you're just better off opening a savings account and putting money away in it every week or month or so to cover vet expenses instead of paying $40 a month (for me it would be about $40 for two dogs) if you aren't even going to need it. It's just a personal preference though.

    Thats probably a good idea.
    I think I'll start saving a little bit in a separate account every month, like you said.

    I read about it on consumer reports and it said that you are better off just saving money. However if you are the type of person that isn't good at saving money then getting insurance might be good for you.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!
