Totally worth it!

Nationwide has been so helpful. From utilizing the vet helpline to processing claims, it is an easy experience that takes the confusion out of insurance. With getting a new puppy in the city, it was important that we were covered and boy, did that pay off! We had a few incidents and Nationwide was quick to pay and available for help.

VPI is easy to work with

I appreciate VPI following up on Chloe after her surgery. VPI processes claims quickly. I am thankful for Pet Insurance it has helped with our vet bills.

Rip Off of Pet Owners

Bought pet insurance at recommendation of our vet---1 year ago---new puppy. Payed over $600 for the year plus $250 deductible. Got about half the $ back. Vets like you to have insurance-----easy to get more procedures accepted. At the end of the year---vet said to go onto the Whole Pet and Wellness plan---since would now cover dental and MUCH more. Went thru 3 agents before given a quote. About $1,000 per year plus the deductible. Several days later---told could not get this plan because the vet had noted some potential future knee cap problem in medical notes!! Vet will NEVER make that mistake again!!! So--having had about 18 dogs over a long life---and NEVER spending $700 in one year---excludes food---just dropped all coverage. Insurance companies are in it to make $ and the vets to get you to accept more procedures!!WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.
