Easy to work with but rates get quite extreme as your pet ages!

Very efficient claim process but was shocked when my annual policy went from around $1000 to $1800 the next year! Seemed liked an unreasonable percentage of increase.

I recommend pet insurance to everyone I know

I have had pet insurance since before it was cool. 15 plus years I believe. Nationwide used to be called VPI. I appreciate having the ability to tell the vet to "go ahead and do that test, she has insurance so I don't worry about cost". It's good to know I can treat my pets with the best available medicine. We have had root canals, eye problems, surgeries, one time incidents or accidents all paid no problem with our nationwide plan. I tell everyone who wants to listen that their dogs should have health insurance. We had a significant rate hike on our older dogs policy this year and almost canceled it, but I'm glad we did not because it has almost paid for itself with her eye problems this year. I love the Vitus Vet app and ease of submitting claims on the go. Reta collab there!
