Supportive and helpful during a difficult time
We have had pet insurance for our dog for many years, but it wasn’t until she became elderly and her health began to decline that you guys really began to support our family and through this difficult process. Thank you

Easy to apply and fast to receive claims
Nationwide has improved the time to receive claims. It takes only a few days to get approval. Super easy to submit claims using VitusVet. Overall, very pleased with this service.

Excellent Coverage and Easy to File Claims
Nationwide provides excellent coverage and their partnership with Vitus Vet to file claims makes filing claims a breeze! Claims literally take less than 2 minutes to file.
Knowing that I am fully covered made my decision to have a major knee reconstruction surgery on my dog done a no brained and removed the stress of worrying about how I would pay for it.

more electronic communications vs. paper mail
Overall, the process through VitusVet is easy and convenient. However, for this claim you asked for additional information and instead of doing so via the app or email, you sent a letter in the mail. It seems that the entire process should be able to be completed online. Also, it did take a while although during this crazy, unprecedented time, it's to be expected.
