Could not do it without you!

Thank you for checking on my Culloden. He is doing much better - although he looks a wee bit ratty from all the shaving. He had two growths removed - one that had been there for a long time, and then a second one that appeared suddenly, and grew quickly. I am willing to do anything for my boy, because I love him to distraction. He is my companion and friend, my house-mate and protector. It is thanks to you that I will never have to say "I could not afford that!". Will not happen to my dog! BTW, I often post about you on Facebook when asked about opinions about pet insurance. You can pay me when you get around to it!

We are very thankful to be able to have this insurance for out pets.

We have had many cats and dogs and have had VPI/Nationwide insurance for them for the past 20 plus years. It has saved us many times. I love knowing that if something happens to one of them, we can go any where to the best doctor without having to worry not being able to afford it. Filing a claim is very easy and you can track the progress online. I am a dog trainer and recommend Nationwide Pet Insurance to all my classes and clients.

Nationwide is on our side :-)

My Bella is like my child and deserves the best healthcare just as my other children do. I have a fantastic Vet that takes excellent care of her. I also have the best healthcare coverage I could get for her. Nationwide is one of the best things decisions I have ever made!

Grateful for my pet insurance

My Peanut recently had a bout of aspiration pneumonia, and was complicated by all the smoke from recent fires. I am fortunate that the vets I have chosen have been wonderful. I have been happy with the reimbursement from Nationwide and have found that supplying records along with the itemized receipt and claim form hastens that process. However, my dog is older and has arthritis. Of course I use wellness supplements as well as one RX med, but would hope that some day Nationwide would not have a pre-existing condition clause on their policies

Great Coverage

I had VPI for several years with a couple of other dogs that I've had. I decided that Bandit, our Rotti/Dobie mix might also be a good candidate for pet Insurance. When I went to look up VPI, I found that Nationwide Pet Insurance had taken their place. After getting a quote, I decided that Bandit should get pet insurance. I bought one of the best plans, pays 90% on almost everything after 100.00 deductible per year. Boy, I can't say enough good things about turn around time on payments and was surprised after a surgery he had, we paid approx. 200.00 out of 3950.00 I am glad to recommend Nationwide and tell all my friends about it!! The monthly payments vary depending on age of dog, but Believe me, it's well worth it. He's healthy and very happy :) :)
