That sucks! Majorly dissappointed!

I have had VIP/Nationwide Pet Insurance since I purchased my 2 English Bulldogs. My main reason for the insurance is their breed can have health issues. The other MAIN reason was my intention to breed my female once or twice, depending how she did with the pregnancy and delivery. So, when inquiring about the insurance coverage I was VERY specific regarding breeding, coverage etc.... I asked the question 10 different ways and went into detail as to specifics, for example...."what if ....happens", "What if that happens...?". Each and every time I was told absolutely covered, yes, that is covered on and on.... Well, I was at the vet to confirm a pregnancy and there were x-rays performed and when I submitted the bill I was informed that ANYTHING pertaining to pregnancy etc...was NOT COVERED. So, my question is, did that employee at the interview portion get a commission because I signed up 2 dogs and she outright lied to me? That is the only explanation I can come up with. I am majorly disappointed. I will not use Nationwide again. I will go to another pet insurance if the opportunity presents itself. Since the dogs are now 3 yrs old I am sure there would be issues if I switched.

Nationwide gives us so much peace of mind in owning a dog.

Nationwide is always there to assist me and advise me regarding the best care for my beloved German Shepherd. I have much less stress when any unexpected medical issues arise. Knowing Nationwide is there to help me ensure that my sweet girl has the healthiest life possible means the world to me. I am SO thankful I found Nationwide. I recommend them to everyone I meet.

Nationwide was very quick to get to our claim. I was impressed.

I was a little skeptical at first with my wife getting insurance for our dog but already having 1 surgery, it made sense. I am glad we did. It pretty much pays for itself and I would suggest it to any pet owner. You never know what could happen.

Extra Consideration

Thank you so much for doing the extra review of Tigger's claim for dental work. We bought the policy for him when my mother-in-law got him but she was ill and didn't follow her vet's instructions to get his teeth cleaned. We weren't aware of this and since she has passed he is living with us so we took him to get his teeth cleaned. He had to have extensive work done and you had originally only covered a very small portion since his early vet had suggested the cleaning and it hadn't been done. After speaking with your representative and explaining the situation you reviewed the claim again and paid most of the cost. We are very grateful for this care and really appreciate your consideration. We have a policy with you for our other Yorkie and will always have policies with your company. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
