Worth it

Every claim I have submitted has been processed quickly, and has paid out what I was expecting when I signed up. Having insurance gives me peace of mind knowing I can provide the best care to my beloved dog.

Expensive, but new claim service excellent.

The cost is expensive when your dog is older. There should be a reasonable cap on what you charge. Your new online claim service is excellent.

Quick Turnaround

Recently filed my claim for my pets appointment. Received my reimbursement almost a week and a half later! Quickest turnaround I’ve ever seen for my claim. Thanks Nationwide

Nationwide is definitely on my side!

I was a long time VPI pet insurance policy holder and advocate. I thought that VPI was amazing but once Nationwide took over VPI I was scared. I was hesitant to continue with the coverage but I decided to “see what happens” and I am very glad that I did. Nationwide has been a blessing and they are even better than VPI in my opinion. The coverage is fantastic. They are helpful, kind and they really do care about my little Sophie. They check on her after vet visits. They remember her birthday. When I submit a claim it is processed in a reasonable amount of time. Nationwide is so wonderful as a pet insurance company. My little dog has better health insurance coverage than I do and it’s less expensive. I can’t say enough good things about Nationwide. If you are on the fence about pet insurance and you are wondering who to go with look no further. This is money well spent. Nationwide really is on your side 🥰
