Big mistake
Learn from my mistake! Pet insurance was a complete waste of my money. I spent over $4100 in premiums over nearly 6 years. The one time I submitted a claim it resulted in zero reimbursement. Sure, they "covered" the claim, but little did I know that you have to pay a separate deductible for each individual ailment that your dog has, even when it is one episode of care or one injury. My dog needed 2 lumps removed from his leg and tested for skin cancer (thankfully was negative). It cost about $1300. My deductible was $500. They consider each lump to be a separate condition and so I would need to pay 2 deductibles. Honestly! Let's say your dog gets hit by a car and breaks more than one bone in its leg. You will be charged a separate deductible for each bone, each cut, each individual issue and they will have you paying probably 6 different deductibles. Once you pay $3000 in deductibles you may have reached the cost of the entire ordeal. My money would have been better invested rather than throwing it away on Trupanion premiums. All the companies would work the same and it's only about their financial gain, not taking care of pets. Be careful.

Love Nationwide Pet Insurance but they are so slow to pay
I really do love nationwide pet insurance, it is easy to use and submit claims through the app. However, they do take quite some time to pay out on the claims I submit.

Shorter time
Although I was reimbursed for Oscar's last vet visit, I think that it takes way too long. Almost four weeks for my return, in this day and age with electronic methods I feel that 2 weeks is plenty of time to take care of this.

Fair, consistent, timely statements and reimbursement checks
I appreciate the option of having health insurance for my dog. It's kind of expensive, but so is my dog, it turns out. I appreciate the peace of mind knowing that I can go ahead and keep her healthy and make sure she has appropriate intervention without frustration and worry about the cost of things.

Pricey, but excellent coverage & customer service
We have had Nationwide Pet Insurance coverage (formally Veterinary Pet Insurance, VPI) for approximately 8 years. We have insured two cats, a domestic medium hair and a Persian. Though they were the same age, the policy for the Persian was always more pricey. During the early years of our policy, reimbursement requests were denied if the fax was not legible. It was easy to mistake "illegible" and "ineligible." We have not had that issue during the past 5 years or so. Reimbursement rates are decent. It would be better if pet insurance worked like human insurance - pay co-pay and receive bill for charges after insurance pays. Instead, we pay the full amount up front and request reimbursement. Fortunately, payments are fairly quick and we have the option to deposit the reimbursement directly into our bank account. Currently, our Persian is 12 years old and I will be surprised if we recoup what we pay for his comprehensive policy. While pricey, the perks of having pet insurance have included peace of mind and access to a 24/7 vet helpline. We have renewed our policy with the same employee since getting our first policies 8 years ago. Overall, customer service has been solid. When our domestic kitty passed away, there was an itty bitty oops after we notified Nationwide of our kitty's passing - they cancelled the wrong pet's policy. The corrected the error right away after we notified them. A few days later, we received a warm note expressing their condolences.

So Greatful for the coverage!
So Grateful for Nationwide service and always the concern for my pet. When I first took out my dog's insurance I wasn't expecting any major event, but only 30 days into the coverage my little Maltese had to have emergency life threatening surgery. Nationwide covered all but my deductible. Recently another scary diagnose and National wide was there to cover the cost. So worth the monthly premium and grateful for their follow up concerns. Highly recommend!

We love healthypaws
We are forever grateful that healthypaws is along our side when our cat got sick. Our little buddy vomited blood lately, and we rushed him to the emergency room. He is feeling much better now and healthypaws really took the financial burden off our shoulders, allowing us to continue the best treatment options for him.

You've helped me
I've had 8 dogs in my long life and this is the first time I ever purchased pet insurance. My dog is young---3 years---and she's healthy except for her itching and scratching. You've helped me pay for a complete exam that determined what she's allergic to in addition to the vaccine that was created that addresses those culprits. Thank you!
