Great coverage, great service

First off, let me say I am very happy that you have made the process of filing a claim so much easier. I use the Vitus app and love it. It's easy to use and the basics are populated with the info I had to add only the first time. When I do call, which is rare now with the app, customer service is friendly and helpful. Great job! With vets and animal hospitals getting bigger, more sophisticated and the demand getting larger, the price for healthcare for our pets has increased. I've been without pet insurance and have had to deal with huge bills with my previous dog. She had cancer which required multiple surgeries and checkups. It would have been nice to have had help at the time. In my opinion it is well worth having insurance for my boxer dog Rocco. When I adopted Rocco I researched quite a few different insurers and options and thought Nationwide had the best options for me. I do not regret my decision one bit.

Always satisfying

I’ve had VPI (then bought by Nationwide) since I first brought home my dog from the rescue agency. I’ve always been satisfied with their coverage and ease of use (submitting claims, reimbursement, etc). I’d highly recommend all pet owners to have pet insurance.

Somewhat disappointed

I submitted 2 claims on my boy. First claim was biopsy, lumpectomy ( which most) was covered. Almost 1 week later I received results tha my just 5 year old lab has Stage 2 cancer. Because they already paid the “ pre” testing the actual diagnosis wasn’t. I have the major medical plan which states actual d.x is a specific amount. Still have to return every 3 months to have lymph nodes checked. Very disappointed

Peace of mind.

Having insurance for our dog when he got injured allowed us to do the diagnostics needed for a complete diagnosis without hesitating over the cost.
