Completely satisfied

I have been so happy with my VPI/Nationwide Pet insurance. The claims process is easy, the reimbursements are quick, and the coverage is great. I recommend this insurance to all of my pay parent friends and will continue to purchase for any pets that come into my like in the future. It’s worth every penny!

Great customer care during my claim

Filed a claim for my Persian. I had not saved up for the expense of the Vet bill but VPI/Nationwide took care of getting me reimbursed within a month. I was very pleased

Great service on claim processing, sharing of health/care info about pets

So far, I'm very happy with Nationwide's coverage of my two babies. I hope this continues, especially now that both of them are entering their senior years. Keep sending those helpful tips on pet care as well.

Not as great as I thought

Customer Service continuously gets worse with each call, surely not as nice as the sales team!! Claims take a long time! Disputes take a long time! They put a preexisting condition on my dog which is now excluded. It was something that was never diagnosed. Still waiting for the response for that dispute. I tried to upgrade my 1 year old dog’s plan, but they said I have to wait until September (by then the dog will be older and it will cost more)! Not sure it is all worth it....unless and they love to tell you unless, your dog suddenly needs surgery or has an emergency! Will look into other companies as my vet has recommended
