Pleased.

I have been with Nationwide/VPI since 2004 and they never let me down. Always helpful. Always polite. Good reasonably priced coverage for my pets. They understand pets are family.

Several bad experiences

In short, it's a greedy company with bad customer service. I dread having to file a claim because of so many bad experiences. Their website is absolutely atrocious and beyond frustrating. One of the worst I've ever used. Frequently broken and unusable. The final straw: I called customer service to ask if necropsy was covered under my pet's plan after my guinea pig tragically passed away. The answer I received made me believe that it was. Nationwide did not reimburse me for the necropsy, and I spent hours trying to get the situation resolved, just to pay the full bill myself. Awful company. Stay away.

good for 2 years, then watch out.

For the first few years, we were really happy. rate was reasonable, good service. but the rates started CLIMBING. What started as a 67$/mo policy has turned into $455/mo (no that's not a typo). Up 250% since last year. It's obvious that they are trying to push us out now that my dog is aging (he is now 6). How can they rationalize that?!

Christopher was very helpful on the phone. He listened as to why I believed they made a mistake on my latest check back for my Ferret’s Dr. Bill. He explained why. I needed more information from that particular Ophthalmologist like I received before. I understood and he’s going to fix it. TY Christopher. Lorrie

Pets are family

My family has been with Nationwide Pet Insurance for over 20 years. Because of this insurance we have never had to say the word no to our trusted vets. When we seek veterinary care we look for the best in the field. Our pets are family and because of Nationwide we can give them the best life possible.
