nationwide (pet insurance) is on the dog's side

Even though there is a 2 hour time difference between Illinois and their head quarters, it is very easy to deal with both customer service and their agents. I have had this pet insurance for many years and even have Nationwide myself. Just as in insurance for us humans there are many different plans and payment options.

Best pet insurance on the market!

We have been with Nationwide (formerly VPI) for 12 or so years. We have always been extremely satisfied with the friendly customer service and prompt claims service! I would highly recommend Nationwide to any pet parent looking for the best pet insurance!

Outstanding coverage

We honestly can’t believe how good the insurance coverage has been for our pup Charley. She had to go to emergency and the entire bill was covered less the deductible. It certainly is comforting knowing that we have that for her.

Easier than I thought

I submitted my claim using vitusvet. Was absolutely hassle-free. I got an email when they received my claim and another as they were reviewing it. When my claim was approved I was able to have it sent directly into my bank account, there was no paperwork involved
