Peace of mind and very good coverage
I researched and compared several pet insurance providers before my new puppy came home. I chose Nationwide because it had a variety of options, and the Wellness option was important to me. I have been very pleased with the coverage and service received, and this gives me peace of mind . I have recommended Nationwide to my friends.

I was hesitant but should have switched years before
I used to have PetPlan for my fur babies, but switched to Nationwide. I was hesitant to switch at first as I had been with Pet Plan for years but they were switching underwriters and the coverage/cost was changing. Nationwide has been amazing!!! My 5 year old chocolate lab had to have both ACL's replaced (months apart) and Nationwide reimbursed me 90% of the costs. Their customer service is outstanding and the services they offer are the same. I would recommend Nationwide to anyone with fur babies!

Simply the Best
I've had Nationwide (formerly VPI) for several years. Nationwide has even improved upon VPI. Their standards are clear, and they pay claims without hesitation.
When one of my cats died, they sent me a condolence card, a gift card, and a refund, none of which I expected.
Once, I called and told the rep. they were losing money on me, and he said Nationwide had this Insurance simply to help animals and their owners. Think about it: a company this huge, putting themselves out there, knowingly taking losses. Yet, it's a wonderful marketing campaign strategy for their company, to draw in customers for homeowners, auto, life, etc. The concept is brilliant, and I am so very thankful for this insurance.
Oh, and I have friends who have Banfield, and they end up paying huge costs out of pocket.
With Nationwide, once you pay your premium and meet the deductible, 90% of your costs are paid to you.
I recommend this company to anyone with pets, especially new pets.
