Happy with Policy

I have had great experience with VPI/Nationwide pet insurance. They have covered my 8 year old Bassetts surgeries at a decent amount. I am so glad i took out the coverage when I did. The amounts paid what what was listed when I took out the policy so I knew what to expect. Times even more.

Avoid VPI/Nationwaide

Just received my policy renewal from Nationwide, formerly VPI. Premium went up 32% for my 8 yo Boxer who has had almost no claims!!! Last year declined a fairly large bill for a screening Holter Monitor because I had UPGRADED my policy 362 days before and the Holter was excluded for a year. The upgrade cancelled the previous policy and I got screwed. I appealed since she had had VPI since 8 wks old and I got a form letter denial of appeal.
