Impressed, pleased and longtime customer
Gabby is 10. I purchased VPI at age 2. She was discovered to be diabetic 4 years ago. The coverage has been wonderful. Along the way, she had an ACL tear repaired and a mast cell tumor removed. By having VPI coverage, the vet medical expenses these past 4 years has been covered at an amazingly high level. In one circumstance, I was somewhat disappointed by the covered level repayment. I called to inquire hoping to better understand the claim limitation. Much to my surprise the customer claims rep took the time to further drill down into the case history. Once she heard more of the history, she offered me an opportunity to resubmit the claim. To my surprise my reimbursement increased from $25 to $450. I was extremely pleased by her willingness to help. Frankly, she could have explained it as $25 is all we pay.... Just in the past 18 months, I have received approximately $3600 in reimbursements. I am happy to recommend VPI to friends and pet enthusiast every chance I get. It has made my pet's medical care much more affordable, as well as limiting any hesitancy toward the best treatment plans for her.

Excellent decision
I have two dachshunds and they are notorious for back problems. I purchased the medium coverage plan for both of them and it has come through for me on several occassions. My 6 year old already has back issues and they have covered all the treatments. My 12 year had infected teeth and had to have surgery, once again they covered all of it. Best thing I ever invested in!

Happy with Policy
I have had great experience with VPI/Nationwide pet insurance. They have covered my 8 year old Bassetts surgeries at a decent amount. I am so glad i took out the coverage when I did. The amounts paid what what was listed when I took out the policy so I knew what to expect. Times even more.
