If so, which company do you use? Do you recommend getting an insurance policy?

I have pets best in boise idaho, it was rated pretty high, I pay 21.50 a month and it covers up to 2500 or 3500, I cant remember. vpi was not rated well, they have certain amount on everything, pets best is 80%.

I have had VPI for over 4 years and have no complaints. I pay 68 a month for both Simon and Hallie and they have covered so much for me!

I have VPI for both girls. So far it has not paid for anything other than a small amount towards Holly's spay, and only because I purchased the additional wellness/basic care coverage. It is like any other insurance policy. You have to outweigh the cost vs. potential benefits. I'm sure if I had an emergency it would be handy, but the premiums are high. I'm tempted not to renew either policy again. For two dogs it is about $500 per year and Holly's plan paid less than $100 so far.

I don't, but am looking into it since my husbands work is going to offer VPI as a voluntary benefit.

I have VPI for my 3 yorkies and have been pretty satisfied.
