After almost 20 years, I wouldn’t leave VPI
I first joined with VPI around 2000, and have insured all my dogs with them. They don’t play games, and filing a claim couldn’t be easier. I wouldn’t think of looking elsewhere.

With Nationwide Pet Insurance I don't have the worry of the vet visit cost and can go in with a stress free mindset.
Everytime I have a question about my policy, I am met with reassurance. My 10 year-old yorkie visits the vet quite often whether it's an emergency or wellness/illness check up. It's reassuring to know that I can get the best care for my little man knowing that i will get reimbursed in a timely manner.

Great knowing my cat is covered in an emergency
My cat was so sick, urinating blood and in pain with a UTI. It was Labor Day, all the vets were closed and I didn’t know how to help her. She was crying, constantly urinating and bleeding. I called the emergency vet and they told me to come in. They warned me about the cost of emergency service but I had to help my cat, so we went. The doctors needed to do xrays and ultrasounds to figure out what was wrong. I knew if would be expensive but I had peace of mind knowing I had insurance to cover some of it. At the end, we received antibiotics and a huge bill. My cat finished her course of antibiotics and is feeling better. Nationwide took care of us, with only $50 out of pocket. I feel so much better knowing we are covered in case of any emergency.
