Thanks Nationwide!

I have been using Nationwide since it took over VPI pet insurance. I’ve had three dogs insured through them and as a veterinary technician I recommend them to all our clients! They are lifesavers!

Grateful for pet insurance!

I am so grateful to have pet insurance and Nationwide has been fantastic to work with for the last 2 years. I find the claim process to be very easy. I rest easy knowing that my furbaby, Lola is well protected when she needs medical care, whether it's preventative or urgent.

Hassle-free experience

Nationwide made everything so easy! After taking our poor little Spot to the vet and then a specialist for several months to treat a stubborn ear infection, we were reimbursed quickly for nearly the entire cost of service. Submitting claims was super easy and they were processed quickly. We appreciated not having to wade through red tape or provide mountains of documentation. Having a sick dog comes with enough worry - it was great to not have to worry about the cost.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.

The company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness, offers 90% reimbursement for accident, injury, illness and wellness care, inclusive of exam fees.
