Nationwide is the best to cover your fur baby!

My baby recently got a bacteria virus which cause him to be hospitalized for 2 days and the charges just kept racking up. I called Nationwide to one let them know and how they wanted me to submit. The representative was so nice and kind as I was scared and unsure what the outcome e for my baby was going to be. She assured me not to worry to submit my claims all together as I was paying and they would take it from there. My claims were turned around so quickly without any issues. Anyone who asks me about pet insurance I praise Nationwide!

Easy to use

We are new to Nationwide pet insurance, but I have been pleased with service and ease of making claims through the VitusVet app. So far, so good!

Awesome

Claims process super fast, unless you are filing a few claims a month, then it slows down dramatically

Thank goodness for Nationwide!

Who knew my puppy would eat a sock and need emergency surgery (not me). It was all covered! I tell all my pet owner friends how important pet insurance is. It's only a small price to pay for such an important coverage. Thank you!!
