Fast claim turnaround and considerate customer care
We have had Nationwide (formerly VPI) pet insurance since our 12 year old beagle/basset was a puppy. The claims are processed quickly and benefits received promptly. The Major Medical plan is great for us, especially now as our dog ages. It covers so much and we don't hesitate to take her to the vet because we know we will get most or all of our expenses reimbursed. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but well worth the cost to keep our pet well and happy.

Everyone should look into insuring their pets
I have had wonderful experiences each time I have submitted claims for each of our two dogs. I appreciate their quick responses. The only thing I wish they covered was spaying and neutering (I've read that some companies can cover those). Thank you and we will continue to be loyal customers moving forward.

Good
Have been submitting claims for about 5 months and so far I have been happy with the way they have been handled.

I have paid a fortune to Nationwide over the last several years - they barely cover anything. I get checks for ridiculously small amounts of money which cover hardly any of the expenses and bills that the average 13 year old dog will incur.
