Better Life for Doggy Daddy

This is my 5th dog to be insured thru Nationwide, the first that isn't a boxer, a breed that tends to require extra veterinary care. In all cases, knowing that insurance coverage was in force decisions to treat or not to treat was based on what was best for the dog, not how much I would be willing to spend. Having it has made the quality of life better for both dog and human!

Don't Recommend

Nationwide will find any reason to deny your claim and state your dog has a pre-existing condition. They denied my claim for a puppy I just adopted stating it was a pre-existing condition. I just got the dog! It's impossible.

Very Helpful

Nationwide really came through last year when my dog got cancer and she had to have emergency major surgery. They paid for almost everything and it was over $3,000 when all was said and done.
