Makes it easy to make sure my pup is taken care of!
I have been working w/ Nationwide for the last 18 months since i adopted my pup. It gives me so much peace of mind to know that I can go anywhere at any time to help my guy if he gets in trouble - like a recent trip to AZ where we had a scary encounter with a cactus on a hike! The claims process is super easy and the pricing is well worth it to make sure that my little guy lives the best life ever. Wish my own health insurance was so easy! Thank you.

Easy Enough
Overall, I'm happy with Nationwide Pet Insurance. I have the most expensive protection plan (My Pet Protection With Wellness), but so far it's nice because all medical expenses are covered at 90% and wellness at 100%. It's expensive, but I rather have the piece of mind. I lost my previous little boy almost a year ago and my previous plan (which was also with Nationwide) wasn't as extensive. The plan covered a lot, but the last hospital expenses were a bit hefty, so I don't want to deal with that again. It's enough dealing with the pain, so the last thing you want to do is deal with vet bills and haggle with an insurance company. The only thing that annoys me is that it takes a minimum of 30 days to process your claim. The first claim I had with my new rescue pup took about 3 months because Nationwide Pet Insurance wanted all the paperwork on his previous history. My vet's office kept sending it, but I guess they weren't sending it with the correct cover page, and it kept getting rejected. It was finally processed, but it did take a bit. It's hard to get a complete history on a rescue animal.
