Great experience

I have been a now two dog customer for years (prior VPI) with my Boerboel mastiff and now Frenchie. Two very different breed digs but always have had great customer service with Nationwide. It’s very comforting to know I have a partner in the care and health of my dog!

Outstanding Service!

This is my first time to have health insurance for a pet, and I purchased it primarily as financial protection for any major accidents or illnesses. Although Dexter is a young and healthy pup, he's had some trouble with an especially tenacious ear infection, and what could have proven a very costly condition for us to treat has been reimbursed very quickly, allowing us to focus on getting Dexter better so he can get back to all his favorite puppy activities.

Provides peace of mind and claims process is simple

I am glad I have pet insurance through Nationwide. I can't say I'm prepared for a major accident or illness with my dog so paying for insurance every month is the way to go, for me. The claims process is simple and the turnaround on claims payment is prompt.
