Pet Insurance is Necessary
I purchased pet insurance for my two cats when they were 4 months old. I don’t remember any type of “Pet Insurance Reviews.” I got quotes from 3 companies. Nationwide was not the carrier of my cats’ insurance policies at the time, but the original company was bought out by Nationwide several years ago. Even if I wanted to move to another insurer, I couldn’t. Like human policies, once the pet has pre exhisting conditions, the owner is unable to change policies because those pre exhisting conditions will no longer be covered by a new insurer.

Online claim submissions
Please, join the digital age. Fax and snail mail are horrible ways to communicate with you customer and make them submit claims. Add capabilities to let me submit and track the claim online.

It has been so easy to deal with your company!
We signed up for pet insurance over the phone. The cost is so reasonable. We had to file a claim recently. It was very easy to do and payment came promptly. Everyone I spoke to with this company has been very nice and professional.
