Nationwide tries to get you to leave when you pet gets older by increasing rate over 100%

We have had Nationwide formally VPI for over 14 years we recommended it to many people. When our pug turned 14 the policy rate doubled. We understand yearly rate increases but 100% increase is unaceptable. It feels as if Nationwide would like us to say its too much and cancel the policy and that is bad business. We now will not refer Nationwide to anyone and make sure we tell everyone about this. The days of Nationwide being the only insurance is long ago and we will look around for other policys from diffrent companies for future pets and NEVER use Nationwide again. Very shotty business practice and just a crappy thing to do.

Wish I had pet insurance years ago

Best pet decision I ever made - except adopting our Sara -- was to buy pet insurance for her (and us!). Not only has it more than helped with the bills, but provide a supportive network for her care. We appreciate the check-ins. The insurance claim process is so easy on line. Sara, her dad, and I highly recommend Nationwide.
