Customer Service Very Helpful and Caring

We have been with Nationwide since they took over VIP Dog Insurance (which we were with for our previous dogs). I would recommend pet insurance to anyone...regardless of the pets age. Stuff happens and it truly helps you make better decisions. The only thing I wish they could change is security code to get in. As we were back when it was VIP Pet Insurance and I don't remember my code...20+ years ago. I cannot check online as I don't know the code. I wish they could just eliminate my previous code and I could set up a new one...not happened for over 1 year. Apparently they can't and I would always have to call in if I want to know something. Somewhat frustrating, but otherwise good. Sherri

Excellent service, thank you

Yes, unequivocally, I would and do recommend Nationwide to other pet owners, because they always meet their promised coverage.. I especially appreciate "Wellness Coverage" for routine veterinarian visits.

Easy, timely, and dependable

My cat developed a chronic thyroid problem. It's nice to know that the special food and medication she needs is covered. It gives us peace of mind to know that we can get what she needs without worrying about cost. Pet insurance is worth every dollar and I highly reccomend it!
