Best pet insurance around

Nationwide is a great choice for our pet insurance. They process our claims promptly and their customer service is wonderful. Their claims process in general is smooth and easy to follow. Highly recommend.

Maxie's coverage from the time of her accident until today

Both VIP & Nationwide (when they took over the insurance) have been excellent in helping with the costs of Maxie's care. I would never look for another insurance company or dispense with insurance for any dog we have.

Excellent insurance company. Make sure to get the wellness.

It took awhile for our first illness claim since we were only with Nationwide for a short time. They did a thorough check to make sure it wasn’t a pre-existing condition which it wasn’t. It was denied as pre-existing. They approved after our Vet contacted Nationwide and explained Emma never had pancreatitis before.
