Mixed Reviews for Nationwide Pet Insurance

Filing a claim is easy! However, the caps on common diagnoses (ear infection, kennel cough) mean that I am not reimbursed as much as I am spending. This is spelled out clearly in my policy... I will most likely be switching to Healthy Paws for my 6 year old pup because she keeps getting diagnosed with the same things each year.

Nationwide insurance is so efficient, makes submitting claims so easy. We are a happy customer!

We have been using NI for our pet insurance and we are very satisfied with this insurance company.

Poor customer service

I have 2 golden retrievers and pay good money for the best pet insurance including the wellness plan. In my 7 years with Nationwide I haven't taken advantage of the dental cleaning. I recently took my dogs in for an exam to check out their teeth. 1 dog has 2 chipped teeth and the other is fine and just needs a cleaning. The estimate is between $400-$600 for each dog. I called Nationwide to ask about what is covered and was not helped at all as they won't even look at the estimate. I am not going to pay over $1,000 for 2 dogs to get their teeth clean and/or extracted if i'm not getting reimbursed for at least part of it. Currently looking into other pet ins companies that will provide better customer service and actually respond to emails.

Waiting waiting

It took forever for me to get reimbursed. I’m taking months. A lot of back and forth calls between vet and the company.
