I had VPI which later turned into Nationwide. Same level of coverage when the shift happened. I bought the higher package that included coverage for annual checkups and routine vaccinations. I got the insurance on my cat (deceased now) when he was a kitten. So what Rick says is very important in getting coverage early. I got my insurance coverage through an employer benefit which provided a small discount. From what I recall, the rates were still very reasonable over the years.

My cat developed a heart condition that required a bunch of specialists. If I didn't have pet insurance, it would have been a very difficult decision to go ahead with all the advanced care. But insurance covered about 2/3rds of the cost. When I had to put down my cat due to a bunch of health issues, Nationwide sent back a refund for the pro-rated premium I paid for the year proactively. I didn't even have to reach out to them.

The only negative with Nationwide is that you have to pay up front and then submit the claim to get refunded.
