Slow...

Once you submit the claim, it literally takes forever to be processed and get the check! It shouldn’t take that long to process the claim and cut a check. We have been customers since 2009 and it has slowly gotten so much worse with response time!

I would and have recommended Nationwide per insurance.

I would 100% recommend Nationwide pet insurance to other pet owners. After filing my first major claim, and seeing the results I must say I was very impressed. Very easy process.

Worth it!

Our insurance for Winnie has been so worth it! I love how I can file my claim on the Vitus Vet and everything is completed in a timely manner.

Paid for itself within a week of my policy being active

Right after her policy became active, our beagle had a blockage in her stomach which required her to be hospitalized/monitored for a few days. Knowing that we had nationwide made me feel confident in ensuring she had the best care regardless of cost. My biggest fear in purchasing health insurance was that agencies would skirt around assuming the costs, but almost everything on her bill was covered. I wish we had more communication during the review process, but once we were informed about which expenses were reimbursed we were quickly paid. The entire review process/payment took about 5 weeks.

Excellent customer service

Nationwide, formerly VPI, is worth every penny. This is my second pet that we have used the insurance. More than pays for itself.
