Great insurance

I have been with Nationwide, formerly VPI, for about 12 years, both my dogs have had big and small heath issues and so far I can't complain. Great customer service.

Easy and cooperative company to deal with.

We have a sweet Cavachon who unfortunately has a sensitive stomach . Often throws up. Is on prescription dog food. Has had a couple of other health issues. We have Nationwide major medical and are grateful for it. They have has been there for us. Other than regular check ups, shots, etc. our bills have been covered.

Extremely responsive to a pet owner’s needs.

As my dog is getting older (now 4), the annual cost for the pet insurance is going up quickly but I suppose that is normal.
