Emergency

Recently Alvin chewed and swallowed a plastic bottle cap. Rush him to emergency vet hospital in Rhode Island at 10 pm. It was successfully retrieved. Filed claim online. Received check about 2 weeks later.

Insurance Covered Major Dental Work

My elderly dog needed major dental surgery which was carefully and respectfully provided by my local vets. She was tested to see if she could handle anesthesia (she could) and surgery went well. When I submitted my claim, the insurance covered easily half of the costs which was deeply appreciated. Being a resilient mixed breed (poodle, schnauzer), she recovered quickly and is back to demanding attention, walks, treats and meals.

Best insurance for pets

I can’t say enough about how great Nationwide Insurance has been. We have had the insurance since our dog was 6 months old, and we have used the instance many times. Our dog just recently had gallbladder surgery which I was very expensive. Nationwide processed the claim in two weeks. This has been our experience for years ( our dog is 9 years old).

NATIONWIDE BEST PET INSURANCE

I have been using Nationwide ever since we adopted our Princess (Cavapoo). They are an excellent company. I go to the Vet than I take a picture of my invoice and submit for payment and they pay it in a few days. Great service.

Smartest thing I did

I bought pet insurance when my Boxer was 8 weeks old. Smartest thing I ever did and I tell everyone. A lot of people will say "well I'll just save for vet bills". ONE incident can cost thousands of dollars. Just make sure you understand your coverage. I chose Nationwide on my vet's recommendation. The yearly deductible is only $99 and after that I get reimbursed 90% of the claim. It's deposited right into my checking account. Her wellness visits are covered 100%. I wouldn't be without.
