I wish my insurance was as good as my dog’s.

I have had our pet insurance since we brought Bella home around six years ago. It has been a lifesaver for us, and it could not be easier to use. Thank you!

Very Good Service

The service handling claims is very good. Some claims seem to take longer than necessary but not a big deal. The electronic fund transfer feature seems to allow the bank to be a 3rd party in the transfer - bad news. Why not have ACH transfers be automatic as elsewhere. As the pets age the policy prices become very big but that is probably industry follow. Bottom line I have used VPI for many years, over 10 years, for at least 3 dogs. That speaks to my recommendation.

I’m glad I have Nationwide

I was originally with VPI who was bought by Nationnwide. In comparison with other pet insurance I went with the better insurer - Nationwide.

Disappointed

Although I should have thoroughly read the lengthy document associated with my dog's medical insurance policy, I find it highly disappointing to learn that your company WILL NOT cover my dog's hernia operation. Paying over $700/yr over the past 4 years, I would think that MEDICAL INSURANCE would at least pay for a major part of the procedure and not just the exam to discover my dog's issue. I can tell you for a fact, I will not be renewing my dog's policy with your company, Nationwide.

Excellent service.

I am thankful to nationride for their help with my vet bills. And for their excellent customer service when I call with questions. Their representatives are always kind and caring.
