Best decision I have ever made as a pet owner

We have never purchased pet insurance for previous dogs but, we did for Ellis and it was the best decision. Routine vet visits, health visits, things a puppy needs are expensive and it is nice to have coverage that reimburses some of those costs. The ability to file a claim using the VitusVet app make it simple to upload invoices and Nationwide process the claims very quickly. Love the direct transfer to bank account feature.

Nationwide is the very best

We have had your pet insurance for almost 2 years now and have been very pleased with the service we have gotten. They are very prompt response and have saved us a lot of out of pocket costs we would recommend them to all

Could do better in managing the claim

Though finally paid the claim, it took from January to later April to pay the claim.

Amazingly easy complete coverage.

I have had my puppy for 9 months now and so far Nationwide Whole Pet with Wellness plan has been amazing. I love that it covers preventative medicine, so smart. Submitting claims is very easy and fast.
