Surgery Cost
Tanner had surgery to remove an external tumor which turned out to be cancerous. The Vet says they got it all. Insurance paid paid 99% of the cost which was a big relief.

Peace of mind
Taking our dogs to the vet when they aren’t feeling well is already a worry. When our dog had a twisted stomach and it looked like surgery was in his future, I was able to tell the vet to do whatever was necessary and not worry about the impending bill. Luckily the situation resolved itself and he didn’t need surgery, but his bill was still hefty and fully covered by VPI!

Slow response
My dog now requires prescription food due to allergies, but it seems to take even longer to get reimbursed and often I am buying the following month's food before I am reimbursed for the current month. Not sure why it takes almost the maximum amount of time for what should be a standard reimbursement.

Great pet insurance
I love Nationwide pet insurance and it’s great how easy the claim forms are easy to complete. The only problem is I wish they covered more for certain ACL repair surgery and I don’t like how you have to wait a while if your dog already had ACL repair surgery. My dog tore her ACL and that same insurance period the other leg went. Overall Nationwide is great and I would highly recommend.
