Glad my pet is insured by Nationwide
Only had one dispute regarding treatment and payment, after calling and speaking with a representative who advised me what to do regarding the claim, it was handled to my satisfaction. Other than the one time, I have never had a problem and my claims have been handled in a timely manner.

Pet Insurance was one of our best investments!
Investing in pet insurance is one of the best things we’ve done! It gives us such peace of mind knowing that our pets will be taken care of if something happens and we don’t have to worry about how we’ll afford their emergency care. Nationwide is always so helpful, the people are very kind and they’re quick to pay out claims! If you’re thinking about getting pet insurance, do it!

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.
