Coverage couldn't have come at a better time for my girl Shai

The cost was so expensive, but I did it without hesitation because I knew that my insurance would cover some of the cost. They covered it all, after the very small deductible that I paid. The peace of mind that it gave me to be able to get the tests and treatment was priceless. Thank you

Made the right choice!

I decided to invest in pet insurance for my dog a couple of years ago and has really paid off. I had to take my dog to the Emergency Vet a few weeks ago because of complications, I submitted my claim the next day and my refund was deposited less than 30 days later. It's a great peace of mind as our pets get older, they are like family and should get the best care they can and having pet insurance makes it more affordable.

Prompt Reimbursement

Our dog had 2 major procedures done and we knew it would be over $1000. My husband and I weren't concerned about coming up with that much money because we knew 90% would be covered under our plan. I signed up for the paperless account so the money would arrive faster and it did...in about a week after I processed the claim. We have never had insurance on a dog before but we got it on Gordie when he was just a puppy and we've always had good experiences in getting reimbursement. It takes a lot of stress away - thank you!

Nationwide has delivered everything it promised

I have been more than pleased with the level of service I've received from Nationwide Pet Insurance. The entire process from signing up for the insurance to filing a claim is painless and very prompt with response and payment.

Reliable, awesome insurance

Claims are incredibly simple to file with the VitusVet app, and the turnaround time is always well under the projected timeframe. I have the policy that covers wellness in addition to emergencies/injuries. Glad I have the expanded policy, as the neutering, flea and heart worm pills, and more are covered.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.
