Very easy to submit a claim via the VitusVet app
We are very grateful to pet insurance for our senior dogs. We are able to give them the care they need knowing that we have help to pay for vet bills.

Good job!
I think that Nationwide does a great job...but the ease of placing a claim could be better and the speed at which the claim is reviewed could be faster. Overall....I approve and appreciate the assistance with my dogs health coverage.

so far we have been very pleased. I just recommended your company to a friend. Yankee was recently diagnosed with diabetes so
Excellent. We are glad we took insurance out on Yankee as a pup. His recent diagnosis of diabetes is upsetting to us so it is good to know you are there for us.

Love submitting my claims via app
I love the convenience of the app and submitting my claims. However, I bought prescription food from Chewy. Chewy validated my prescription but when I submitted my claim it was denied bc it wasn’t purchased directly from my vet. Now to counter and prove that my vet provided a script I have to snail mail or fax proof for a claim that was originally submitted electronically. It’s inconvenient and a bit backward. Why can’t I submit my supporting documentation electronically? A little frustrated bc my dog will continue to be on prescription food likely for the rest of his life. Will I have to do this each time I submit a claim ? I hope not. Sigh.
