So glad I purchased vet insurance 9 years ago!!

Our Kierra is getting up in age- we purchased insurance when she was 3 after finally paying off the dreaded “vet bill credit card” and swearing we were not going back in debt with vet bills again. Over the years it has paid for itself and more- Kierra is aging and has developed some health issues that have required regular testing and costly exams with a specialty vet, not to mention a good bit of medication. Having insurance has allowed us to give her the best care possible to keep her comfortable and happy during her golden years.

Watch for pre existing condition .

My 9 year old German Shepard had to have surgery on the both of her legs. They would not cover the second leg even though it was several years after the first stating it was pre existing since the other leg had the same problem. They didn’t have a problem collecting my premiums for five years, but when it comes to paying, they fine a reason not to pay. They would not give me a refund for anything including the premiums I had paid for many years.

It’s worth it!

I have been paying into this plan for a year and a half. I’m so glad I made the decision to buy this insurance! Recently my dog suffered multiple herniated discs and lost his ability to walk. Surgery was one of two options with the latter being euthanasia. Thanks to this insurance paying 90% ish (exam fees were excluded) of the total cost I didn’t even have to consider euthanasia. The dog is on the mend and within 5 days the reimbursement was in my account.

They make every ridiculous excuse possible to not pay

They denied to pay for biopsies saying that they don’t pay for “visits”. And they also used every other ridiculous reason to deny all of our claims in the past 2 years we had insurance with them. $100+ monthly premiums were a total waste of money. If we had instead saved those premiums, they would have covered all the expenses we had for veterinarians in the last two years.

Not great but good.

Insurance is not great but is good. Not great because the overall monthly price is very high and coverage still does not cover everything and what is covered is only a portion of each service. So this offsets some expenses but definitely is not like regular health insurance if your comparing.

Great Service for Pets

We have had this insurance for years and it is, by far, the best investment we have ever made. I wish they could run all insurance of all types the same way - not just for pets but for people, cars, boats, homes, RVs, etc. This works the way all insurance is supposed to work. I recommend it to everyone every chance I get and living in a 55+ community that is very often.

Helps make pet ownership a little more affordable

While I am still on the fence about having pet insurance, I have carried this for 5 years. My dog is getting older now and I know if anything happens I will need help in paying for it. So this is really more insurance for his later years but unfortunately you have to buy it while they're young before they have any conditions arise that would be considered preconditions. Question you have to ask yourself is could you put a certain amount away every month to help pay for your pets needs? If you can then you may not need insurance. 50 way the cost per month of the insurance compared to what you might spend it may be less but it can also be more. And that's the thing about insurance. You are paying for those just-in-case moments. In this case oh, it has helped me to a degree. I purchased the insurance after my dog has been diagnosed with his allergies issues so unfortunately, none of that is covered. But everything else that has had no problem with.

I recommend Nationwide pet insurance to anyone with a pet

Nationwide is awesome & affordable. I barely paid anything for my dog's annual shots/preventative visits. The plan I have even covered his nail trimming! Claims are super easy to file online. You just upload a picture of your vet bill & send it in. It gives me peace of mind knowing that if something ever happens to my dog I wont go into debt trying to pay for his medical expenses and the reimbursement check arrived fairly quickly. Thank you Nationwide!

Great coverage and reimbursement

I’ve had nationwide previously VPI for many years. Always satisfied. But this year my premium went up to $666 dollars. Outrageous!!! Increased double in 2 years. Want to know why. Last year increase was $150. This year $200 increase.
