I miss VPI.

I am cancelling both dogs policies. I have been a member since VPI days, over 10 years. Time to find a new insurer.

Great coverage and easy reimbursement

I have had a policy with Nationwide for about 2 years and I absolutely love the Whole Pet with wellness coverage. It helps knowing tht in the event of something drastic happening to my dogs, they will be covered up to 90%

Initiallly, I was annoyed that the first time I needed to utilize the insurance, medical records were requested.

As stated, I was annoyed that the first time I needed to utilize the insurance they required Medical records even though they take my payments. My Vet office is so accommodating that they have it set up that for any visit they submit a copy of our invoice directly to Nationwide to prevent any delays in the processing of any future claims.
