Avoid VPI/Nationwaide

Just received my policy renewal from Nationwide, formerly VPI. Premium went up 32% for my 8 yo Boxer who has had almost no claims!!! Last year declined a fairly large bill for a screening Holter Monitor because I had UPGRADED my policy 362 days before and the Holter was excluded for a year. The upgrade cancelled the previous policy and I got screwed. I appealed since she had had VPI since 8 wks old and I got a form letter denial of appeal.

Very satisfied

VPI's reimbursement rates are very generous. I'm very grateful I switched to VPI.

I have been very happy with FPI

This is my third dog that I have insured with VPI and have never had a year for any of my pups for which I didn't get my premium back in payments for a variety of issues including prescriptions for my one golden who had epilepsy.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

I have been with this company for a long time. It was just out of laziness, that I didn't change sooner. Their policies are so long and complicated, it is impossible to comprehend. I have only had to file a couple of small claims, and I was never happy with them. Recently, I had a larger claim, and I am very angry with them! I personally feel this company is a rip-off, and will find some reason or another, not to reimburse you what you deserve. I love the new company, I am with. I'm just sorry, that I didn't change sooner!
