We are happy with the service Nationwide provides. The increase in price was a bit high. Other than that we are pleased with the service you provide.

Thank You for everything...

Our guy Kirby required an emergency Splenectomy, after which the initial tests revealed he had Splenic Stromal Sarcoma. Additional testing and consults with an Oncologist along with some additional biopsies revealed a Hemangiosarcoma. We were devastated. But, all through out the process as we worked thru the surgery and the tests and the consults, every single time we submitted our claims to Nationwide, we were really very pleased with how promptly they were processed. Nationwide has made the expense/cost side of this experience, easy for us so that we are able to focus and do what is right for Kirby. Thank you Nationwide for truly being there for our pet. You guys are amazing!

The VitusVet app makes it very easy to submit claims

The VitusVet app makes it very easy to submit claims. I wish more Vet offices would get into this program for the health, exam and vaccination entries, or requests for medical info from another Vet. Still, even if I can only use it to submit claims, I'm a happy camper.

Easy insurance company to work with

We just signed up for pet insurance about a year ago when our corgi was 10 years old. She has been really healthy, but we know that as pets age they may need a bit more medical care. Well, sure enough we needed some care. I got the claim forms, filled it out, attached the invoice from the vet's clinic and mailed it in. Within about a week we had received an email confirming payments were being made on all the claims we sent in. Checks were issued and delivered and a summary of the claim was sent with the check so we could understand what was covered. Very easy to work with Nationwide. So happy we have them as our pet insurance carrier.
