Lifesaving service!

I have been a customer since VPI (now Nationwide) pet insurance was first offered and have insured many dogs over the years. The peace of mind alone is worth the cost, but the fact that it has saved and/or extended the lives of a number of my dogs...priceless. HINT: Create an ID tag for your pet that includes "I AM INSURED", your policy number, and Nationwide's toll-free number. If your pet is injured, you are unreachable by phone at the moment, and he/she is wearing such a tag the chances of immediate medical treatment increase greatly.

Good insurance - trouble getting paid

The insurance is excellent and covers a multitude of preventive and other medical issues, however I received a reimbursement over a week ago and my bank still hasn't released the money. I received notice from them stating that the check may not be paid. I am still waiting for my reimbursement to post to my account.
