VPI (Veterinary Pet Insurance) is the original pet insurance company. They issued their first policy back in 1982 to t.v.'s Lassie and since then have spread their coverage to the avian and exotic pet world.

The best part about having exotic pet insurance is the freedom you have to take the best possible course of action for your pet. If you aren't worried about what things will cost you, you are more apt to do everything you can for your pet.

Exotic pet insurance gives you that freedom to run those tests, do that surgery, and administer those medications you see as being too expensive otherwise.

Plans for exotic pets can cover everything from wing and nail trims to egg binding and surgery. Different plans are available and the types of exotic pets covered are:

Amphibians

Birds

Chinchillas

Ferrets

Gerbils

Goats

Guinea pigs

Hamsters

Hedgehogs

Lizards

Mice

Opossums

Potbellied pigs

Rats

Rabbits

Snakes

Sugar gliders

Turtles/Tortoises

VPI is accepted by all licensed veterinarians, is the only exotic pet insurer in America, and although there may be limitations to who and what is covered, if you take your exotic pet to the exotic veterinarian, VPI is probably a good thing to have for your pet.
