Wouldn’t go without it!
I’ve had Nationwide (VPI) for several of our dogs. Without it we would have had a financial burden. When nationwide says they’re on your side they mean it. Not just a slogan - it’s what they live by.
Customer service is always good, claims are generally paid in a timely and accurate way. I’d give them a higher rating if I could.

Big Talk, Small Results
Takes way too long to review claims. Have submitted full med records TWICE and still can't get coverage on pre-existing conditions whose statute of limitations have expired.

Nationwide is a compassionate life-saving experience that enables us to give our beloved pets the best quality of care.
Not only would we recommend Nationwide, but we have been sharing how grateful we are that we have Nationwide pet insurance. Your outstanding response in our time of need was a life-saver. Of course we did not want to put our young and wonderful dog down when the specialists explained what was needed to save his life. It meant a lot of procedures, tests, and surgery at a huge expense. We had to go into considerable debt and think twice about recommended treatments because of the cost, but we were willing to do this to save our dog's life. As it was, Nationwide stepped up and reimbursed us for 90% of the vet bills and made it possible for our dog to get the best veterinary care without hesitation that we were ultimately able to afford! Baxter, our dog, is back to normal after a serious condition and we appreciate the terrific reputation Nationwide has that we know is well deserved.
