s demonstrate parental behavior by buying presents for their pets on holidays, designating a seat at the dinner table for their pets, or giving their pets a role in their wedding or other special occasions. A recent VPI poll of its policyholders and other visitors to its Web site found that 56 percent of pet owners sleep in the same bed as their pets, while another pet owner survey determined that 23 percent take their pets on family vacations.

"Over the past 26 years, VPI has insured more than a million pets, providing us insight into pet lovers who have literally transitioned their pets from the backyard to the bedroom," added McConnell. "The majority of our policyholders will go to any length to demonstrate responsible pet ownership and provide protection for their furry and feathered family members, and that includes securing health insurance coverage for them as they would any other family member."
