Very good coverage at a reasonable price
Good coverage so far on 2 wellness visits. Easy claim filing and reasonable turn-around on reimbursement.

Making things easy at Nationwide
You guys make it so convenient to submit a claim, it almost seems too easy. When dealing with a sick pet, it's nice to find ways to save time and the process you have implemented does just that. Thank you!

Blown away (in a great way!)
Wow, just WOW! I got this insurance as a benefit through my existing employer. I have held other plans in the past with different companies but found they were a waste of money--nothing seemed to be covered and I was just throwing money away every month. On top of that it was like trying to figure out the da vinci code in submitting a claim, so I gave up trying to have pet health insurance. My furbaby is considered a senior dog now and pretty accident prone so when I got hired and read the policy through nationwide I bit the bullet and figured I'd give this company a shot, especially because the plans offered didn't discriminate against her age making if very cost effective for me to have "just in case". Going on three years now, and I'm so grateful I chose to opt in to this! I calculated out my baby's vet bills and what this plan reimbursed me along with the annual premium and figured out they had saved me over $500. It's stressful enough having to worry about my dog's health when I need an emergency run to the vet that having to worry about cost or how to get reimbursed shouldn't be an added burden. I especially love that you can submit online within minutes! I'm so grateful for having an pet health insurance company that isn't a scam. Seriously, THANK YOU.

First time Pet Insurance buyer
I have had many pets and this is the first time I purchased the Pet Insurance. I went with Nationwide after reading reviews and a glowing recommendation from a coworker. My puppy is seven months old and the ease of uploading the vet bills and getting the explanation of benefits to see has been so easy! We had a specific issue that I called the customer service department about and the representative was so knowledgeable and kind in her responses I would not hesitate to call back if needed. Will definitely be going with Nationwide Pet insurance for all my future pets too!
