Excellent claim service!

Thank you for checking up on Tucker. He is back to his normal playful self with a six inch surgical scar on his belly! Your help with the cost of his medical care was appreciated. The ease of making our claim and the swift response we received with payment was exceptional service. We are very pleased that we chose to insure our dogs with Nationwide and recommend your coverage to all of our friends with dogs. Thank you so much for the excellent service we received with our recent claim! Best regards, Sandra Howle (And, of course, Tucker!)

Reliable

We were able to bring Jake to a new animal hospital on Labor Day when he got sick. We did not have to worry and most of the fees were covered!

Helpful staff, but a long wait time for first claim

Mattie's initial claims included a surgery. We did not find out if that claim was accepted for two months and that was a bit stressful. Other than the wait time, the service has been wonderful. I also used the vet helpline and that staff-member was wonderful. Mattie is getting better every day more and more.
