Nationwide is easy and quick

Thanks to Nationwide Pet insurance, I don't have to worry about money when making medical decisions for our dog. It is easy to submit a claim and, in my experience, they process the claims in under a month. It has come in handy multiple times for our family.

Best Experience EVER!!

Nationwide pet insurance is unreal! They respond fast with accurate information and their reimbursement process works perfectly and super fast. And I love the VitusVet App to manage all my fur baby needs!

Vet insurance

I have not had any issues with nationwide pet insurance. I’m glad we got it to be honest. If I had to say one thing that could be improved on is the processing time on a claim. Average time has been 2 to 3 weeks. But overall truly no complaints very good pet insurance.

Untimely, unresponsive, partial coverage

The amount of time that it took to review my cats chart and make a payment was completely in adequate, when I called to ask for an explanation I was given short rude answers, and in the end the coverage was only partial, I was never told there were caps on everything.
