Thank God for Nationwide Pet insurance.

Very quick with the claims I've turned in on Mr. Pickles. It's great to be able to have everything done quickly and the money deposit in the bank without me having to drive anywhere to take care of it.

Needs major changes

When a dog is 16.5 years old with a lung disease, they should NOT have to undergo sedation for a biopsy to prove they have IBD. The top Internal Medicine Vets at the University of Minnesota Veterinary Medical Center proved he had it by sending his info to Texas A snd M for verification. Dr. Lindsay Merkel, Chief of the Internal Medicine dept at the UVMC even sent a letter into you explaining this. Very upset you have this ridiculous rule. You need to make exceptions for dogs that cannot undergo sedation because it would kill them. VPI/Nationwide used to be fantastic and you need to understand that not all dogs cannot have sedation. Many are older and have conditions that prevent them from being sedated. I hope they adjust their requirements and get back to being the best pet insurer on the market.

Nationwide is great

I got Nationwide insurance for my dog when she was a puppy. We’ve had years when she rarely saw the vet and years where we would have had to omit some treatment due to the cost if I didn’t have insurance. The claims are processed quickly and easily with the app and I am completely satisfied. I tell all new dog owners to get Nationwide,
