No Regrets

I've had my Deerhounds insured via VPI (now Nationwide) since 2002 .... years before most pet owners recognized the value of health insurance. My primary motivation to get and continue my Boyz on coverage is that I never want to choose between their medical treatment and my bank account. They are the world to me and their well being is my primary concern. Nationwide has helped me keep them "in the pink" over the past 16 years.

Quick Turn Around

I have been using a technique where I take a picture of the claim document and receipt from the vet and attach it to an e-mail message to Nationwide Pet Insurance. The system works a lot faster than it did a few years ago. Mailing the claim from New York to California took forever.
