Pet Insurance

Rachael,


I have found the VPI (Veterinary Pet Insurance) is by far the best.
I have had Petshealth Ins., and I didn't care for it. I know with my 2 boxers the monthly payments aren't bad. I pay 28.99 for one and 27.69 for the other. My girl had surgery on her mouth which cost us about 650.00. I got 435.00 back!! They are very friendly when you call with a question or about you bills.

Hope you find something soon!

Melissa
