Policy really helps with the hard decisions.

When we got Dusty 8 years ago, a work associate told me about VPI as he covered his Golden Retriever. We really like the ease of making claims and the quick response. Great service and no hassles. We always joke that Dusty has better medical insurance than a lot of our human population.

Easiest claims ever

Claims are quick and easy with the app. Most claims are processed with a few weeks. If I could change anything it would be to cover preventative medicine and to auto deposit claim refunds versus sending an email to confirm.

Finally found a pet insurance company that does what it says it will do!

My new kitten required a hospital stay after her spay and left me with large expenses. To date Nationwide has paid $1800. back to me. I am so grateful to find a pet insurance company that actually makes a difference and doesn't mislead you regarding benefits.
