Best Pet Insurance Around

I've had Beaubear insured with (formerly VPI) Nationwide since he was 4 months old; he is now 11 years. Beau is a mischief maker and if there is any trouble to get into, he will find it. This company has been there for us all these years with wonderful support; they are always willing to go the distance and their claims processing is fast and user friendly. I don't know what I would have done without them. They are the best!

Paying it Forward

I am giving an 8 NOT because I have anything bad to say. I have 3 other Doxies that have Nationwide, and now we have Annie. Annie was a rescue dog, around 12-15 months old, blind and never been to a vet. I wanted her checked out right away, shots, spay...the whole 9 yards. There is a 14 day waiting for the insurance to kick in, does not seem like a long time, but when you are bringing a recuse (from a bad situation) into your home with other fur-kids, you might be putting your other fur-kids at risk. I did not want to wait the 14 days, so Annie went to the vet and the bill was OOP and I will not see any of that back. Maybe for rescue dogs, forgo the 14 day waiting for your Primary Vet visit. It would be a relief for everyone and saves money in the long run if your rescue kids has something that could be passed onto your other kids. ***I LOVE the people here!! Love the Insurance Company and I am glad my 4 fur-kids have it!! It is worth the piece of mind that you do have it for them. ****

Very satisfied with Nationwide.

Even though Molly is only 11 months old and the only claims submitted by my Vet. were for spaying and gastroplex procedure,and her Heartgard/Nexgard pills,but reimbursement was made within weeks. I made the mistake of discontinuing coverage on my last dog. Won't happen again. Nationwide has been great so far.
