Great insurance, easy claims process

I am just completing the first year Whole Pet with Wellness policy for Barrie Moose. It has saved me quite a bit of money. The first year of a dog's life is rather expensive with multiple wellness visits and vaccines. We also experienced several GI issues which seems to have settled down with the food he is currently on. I already renewed my policy for a second year and plan to keep him enrolled for life. Hopefully, we will not have as many claims next year but it is good to know we are covered should there be an unexpected illness or accident. I look forward to getting another standard poodle puppy next year and will also purchase a Whole Pet with Wellness policy for the new pup. The Vet HelpLine has been very helpful and is a nice perk to have.

Nationwide Keeps its Promises

I have recommended Nationwide to several friends with pets. It's well worth the money and I appreciate the ease of filling out the claims. We've been paid promptly.

Great service. Very responsive and proactive about pet care.

I've been with VPI (Nationwide) for a few years now. I'm pleased with their service and commitment.

Thanks for your financial assistance. It helped keep my buddy with me.

What can I say, Nationwide insurance saved my Labradors life several times. JB has been treated for cancer, diabetes, ingestion of a foreign object and ACL repair.. Without Nationwide Pet Insurance JB wouldn't l be here with us. After ingestion of a foreign object JB had a 5 day inpatient hospital stay costing $13,000 Nationwide took majority of the burden for that visit and allowed me to provide care to JB until he regained his strength. Currently JB is a diabetic relying on 2 injections of insulin per day. The monthly cost of Insulin is roughly $175 and Nationwide covers that cost. Even though JB has so many health related issues , Nationwide premium stayed manageable. Reimbursement for claims is very quick and done on the computer. If your on the fence about insurance coverage for your pet, take my advise its worth every cent. People pay more for cable TV per month than it costs to cover your pet. Think about whats more important. Nationwide I thank you so much for your support. Sincerely,
