Excellent Insurance

I am very pleased with Nationwide pet insurance. It saved my dog's life when he had a ruptured disc. If I hadn't had the insurance coverage, I would have had to put him down as he is a large dog, was in pain, and unable to walk without spine surgery. Nationwide paid at the promised 90% for thousands of dollars of surgery, therapy and hospitalization. Most recently, he had issues with pain which our vet thought to be related to his spine and/or neck. Nationwide paid for the MRIs that he needed. I tell everyone who I meet who has a pet that this is absolutely wonderful insurance and well worth considering. In fact, I have been so grateful for this excellent coverage that my house and cars are now insured by Nationwide. You can never be certain that you will need insurance coverage but, when you do, Nationwide is there to help.

Good job!

I think that Nationwide does a great job...but the ease of placing a claim could be better and the speed at which the claim is reviewed could be faster. Overall....I approve and appreciate the assistance with my dogs health coverage.

so far we have been very pleased. I just recommended your company to a friend. Yankee was recently diagnosed with diabetes so

Excellent. We are glad we took insurance out on Yankee as a pup. His recent diagnosis of diabetes is upsetting to us so it is good to know you are there for us.
