Excellent service!

My pet insurance experience for my now 1 year old puppy has been extremely positive with Nationwide! Love the ease of submitting claims and the great coverage that comes along with it. My wife and I have also used the 24/7 Vet Helpline several times over the first year of having our pup, and they are always super responsive and helpful!

Wouldn't be without this coverage

I am very happy with VPI coverage for Maddie. We live in an area that has rattlesnakes and we have had them in our back yard. We vaccinate Maddie every year, and she has had rattlesnake aversion training, but you just never know what might happen. I'm glad to know we are protected. Also, she has a sensitive stomach and is on a special diet, but sometimes she needs meds to get her back on track when she gets sick. I'm grateful to have this coverage. I tell everyone with pets about VPI and how happy we are with them.
