Accurate but slow
Been pretty happy with Pet Insurance except for the long wait times for claim reimbursements.

The biggest help!!! Thank you!!!
Such a big help when you’re a single pet parent. 😊 expenses can get crazy sometimes and before I found this insurance I was paying everything out of pocket. Sometimes in an emergency you don’t always have that money on hand. So now I don’t have to worry so much.

Easy filing process, no questions, great follow-through
We put Richard on VPI (Nationwide) when he was a puppy; no questions knowing he was a bulldog. 6 years later, he had a torn ACL and a torn MCL —- a full TPLO, a metal plate, and 6 screws later, he’s a brand new man! We had never used his insurance before the surgery, and never questioned whether Nationwide would cover his costs when it came time. We were referred to a top-orthopod in town for his bully knees and his special surgery needs. Nationwide took care of Richard ever step of the way. We can’t thank them enough. I recommend Nationwide to everyone I know. I will always keep our dogs with Nationwide.

Took a while to process the claim, but otherwise a perfect experience
I used the online portal built into my vet's system for this claim - which I loved doing. The only downside is that it took quite a bit longer to process this claim than it had in the past when I mailed them in. That long processing time - well over a month - is what prevented a perfect score.
