How many pet owners are really prepared if their cherished pet becomes ill or injured and they need to rush to the nearest emergency hospital? With a sick pet, you don’t have time to search through files for vital data that can assist with life and death decisions. And in those precious first moments when the veterinarian is treating your pet, it’s crucial that he or she have available all pertinent medical information.

Few of us are prepared, mainly because we don’t think it could happen to our dog, cat, bird or exotic pet. But it does – thousands of times a day all across America. This is why you should keep copies of your pet’s medical information in a place that’s easy to access. Some easy-to-remember locations include:

- Refrigerator
- Drawer in furniture near front door
- Car glove compartment
- Purse or wallet

You should also keep a VPI Pet Insurance claim form along with these documents. With an affordable VPI policy, you can visit any licensed veterinarian worldwide so if you rush to an emergency hospital where no one knows you – you can be confident the veterinarians know VPI.
