Happy with Nationwide Pet insurance

I was looking at insurance for my 2 year Bernese Mountain Dog. I am quite happy I got him an insurance. Philadelphia is fairly expensive when compared to Fremont, CA where he moved. This really gives me peace of mind. The claim process is fairly simple to file with the vitusVet app. Claims takes 30 days but no hassle. I have called them few times and hardly much wait time. The representatives are fairly kind and pleasant. I did compare with trupanion, Healthypaws and embrace and Nationwide was lower but harder to compare apples-apples. I guess they are all good and nationwide insurance was offered via my wifes employer and we choose that instead. They honestly followup with email, online access is fairly neat and simple. I am quite happy with their service. I know 2 other pet owners with Nationwide and were happy as well.

Couldn't be easier!

I switched from another pet insurance that I kept paying for but never got a penny from. Nationwide has been so much better. It's worth every penny.
