Glad I got this insurance when I did

I’m glad I got insurance for my younger dog when I did. It paid for my dogs routine spay plus the preventive gastropexy. It didn’t pay for my dogs vulvuplasty due to pre-existing conditions, but when my dog got really sick and another time when she needed her anal glands removed they paid for everything. This dog is 2 years old and has had many problems in a short time, and the insurance pays it all (90%). They even pay for heartworm and flea prevention and general wellness stuff. I’ve been very happy with nationwide for my younger dog, who I have the full wellness insurance on. I would love to get even the emergency insurance on my 9 year old dog, however the cost is too much for her even on the cheapest plan. Fortunately my older dog has never really had any medical issues, and I do keep a care credit card in case I may need in for her instead of insurance. I work in a vet and I always recommend nationwide insurance.

Great reimbursement without hassle

I only have one big recommendation, get your puppy immediately in this plan and include the wellness plan. It has paid of for us. We have 2 labrador dogs and when smaller they had their “eating” accidents. Like swallowing a small ball on the beach from a smaller dog. It seemed to never end to visit the vet with these tedious accidents and the bills were big. The only disappointment was that this year the insurance rate went up quite a bit by 30% or so. No warning letter so that was not so great. At least explain to client that this is coming up, because the rates are substantial now. Still worth it. Very easy to submit bills through the phone app and never a dispute which is so time consuming to handle. Conclusion: for sure get this policy.
