easy to file claims
I've filed several wellness claims. Process is super easy. All but one is still pending but I was reimbursed for the one that is complete - easy peasy.

Comforting but frustrating
Having the pet insurance is super comforting when dealing with any medical issue that was not planned. The only thing that is frustrating is the turnover time between submission and reimbursement.

Nationwide is an honest insurer who quickly pays valid claims against their policies.
Originally, I didn't want to get pet insurance on our two-month-old puppy, but my daughter and my wife convinced me to do so. Now I am glad I did, because the insurance covered a lot of the problems we have faced with our dog.
We had two rescue dogs (mostly German shepherds) when "Lola" came into our life. When she entered the front door, she immediately became the Alpha dog. Her chewing has almost stopped. She's left behind a lot of chair rungs half-eaten, numerous dog toys chewed to bits, stuffing out of dog beds, and, yes, even wood chips. She is the fastest dog we've ever had and can run rings around our other two dogs. And, of course, whenever any food drops to the floor, she the first on the scene. She loves to stand five-feet tall on her two hind legs and kiss you. My wife, Cecelia, welcomes her into her bed at night and Lola frequently falls asleep on her shoulder and neck. Despite her many faults, she's a constant source of surprise and happiness to us and we love her dearly.
