Friendly customer service, long review time for claims.

The customer service at Nationwide has always been friendly and easy to deal with. I have their most expansive coverage, so there has never been any trouble getting a claim approved and reimbursed for. However, waiting 3-4 weeks is never fun, especially when you have larger claims such as neutering or other surgeries.

This is the easiest insurance company ,ever, to work with.

I have never dealt with a more responsive (pet or human needs) company. As long as you follow their instructions, and submit proper documentation, you will be amazed at how quickly your claim is paid.

Amazing service and turn around time

My puppy has been the vet more than one would expect because he love anything that’s not his. Nationwide has been nothing but awesome with my claims. And the ability to use an app to upload claims means I can send it in before I even leave the vet office!

Incredibly Fast Service

We were on vacation in California when Billie started walking/acting differently. As overbearing new pet owners we found a pet urgent care and followed their directions. Billie was up being her young puppy self in days. The insurance was invaluable!! And the VitusVet app is so easy to use. We were reimbursed in less then a weeks time. Thank you Nationwide for your care of our little girl during this scary time. Every pet owner needs to Have Nationwide!!
