Great Insurance but high premiums

We have used VPI / Nationwide Pet Insurance for 13 years. Our only complaint is the premiums jump so much they older the pet gets. For instance, between age 12 & 13, it is jumping almost $30 per month for our renewal. This is over $1000 per year + the $500 deductible. This is making it a choice we need to revisit upon renewal.

So far, So good

So far we've been pleased with Nationwide Pet Insurance. Sometimes it takes longer then the advertised 30 days for a claim to process, but not always. We only had one claim that took over 90 days, submitting the same paperwork multiple times, and a few phone calls to resolve. We felt that Nationwide was trying to find a reason to deny the claim, looking for a per-existing condition that would enable them not to pay. None existed and they finally paid the claim.

Easy no gimics

Except for my $100 deductible, my claims are paid relatively quick and without a hassle. I love that there is a vet on call to discuss issues. Claims could be process a bit quicker is my only criticism.
