This insurance has helped keep our loved family member alive

Our English Bulldog, Bosco Boy, developed bladder stones. In order to avoid costly and risky surgery, he has many ongoing trips to the vet for treatment and monitoring.. Nationwide has allowed us financially to afford these vet visits, with which without their insurance coverage we would be unable to do.

Great Pet Insurance!

Enrolled my dog when I got her at about 12 weeks and she is almost 8 years old now. I have submitted a number of claims during this time and have always received timely claim processing and payments without any problems.

Attention to Detail, Lacking

When I got my little Ada, I was excited to get her insurance with you. It was a very painless process when I got Zeus, Sebastian, and Danni on VPI insurance and I rarely had an issue. However, getting Ada on your insurance has been a nightmare. When I signed her up, I provided the phone number and address of where she was taken prior to me adopting her to obtain her medical records. I didn't find out until a month later that you didn't have her medical records when a claim was denied and when I called and asked why you hadn't obtain the records, your agent stated that they had called but they had never heard of Ada. When she read the phone number back to me that was in your computer, it was incorrect. I told her that I would just have all the records sent to you. I had Ada's medical records mailed, faxed and email to you on 4 separate occasions and every time I called, it was "we have not received them". On the 5th attempt and getting very angry with the agent telling me I didn't understand, I asked for a manager. She was very professional and I explained to her that I was copied on the same email that they were and I forward the email with all Ada's records to her. She promptly got everything taken care of which was the fastest I've seen a claim come from you. I explain the situation with my vet's office and they have heard from other clients that had VPI in the past, are not happy with the service that Nationwide is providing.

Thankful for coverage

We were thankful for the coverage when our dog ended up at the ER overnight. We have coverage for this type of issue, but this was he first time we used the policy. It took a few weeks to process, but I am pleased with the service. Here’s hoping my pup can stay healthy since have maxed out this year’s coverage for the diagnosis!
