No Nonsense Pet Insurance

I've been using Nationwide (formerly VPI for quite sometime now. I have the major medical insurance for both my dogs. I keep them as healthy as ever - but occasionally something comes up - that is unexpected. The staff are absolutely great & answer all my questions to the best of their ability. Claims are always handled in a prompt manner. I even told my vet to recommend this insurance if clients ask. There are many plans to chose from - so each pet family is different.

I think Nation wide is great.

I think that insurance was the best thing I have ever purchased for my dog. I feel that nationwide is quick to respond to claims. I appreciate having the pet insurance. My dog has been insured since he was a puppy. I recommend that all pet parents get pet insurance, it helps when your pet gets injured or is feeling under the weather.

Pleased as Punch

Pleased with my pet insurance. When I filed my Wellness Claim for my kitties I received noticed that it could take 30 days for reimbursement but I was thoroughly pleased to receive nearly 100% of my claim within two weeks. And when one of my kitties got injured I didn't meet the deductible for the emergency care and so no reimbursement was needed. All the same Nationwide was kind enough to check in to say they hope that my cat was doing well since his last visit. I really appreciated that message.
