Easy and Communicative

Everything was explained very clearly and I was kept informed as things progressed. The application process was easy. This is my second time getting a pet insurance policy through Nationwide. It was a lifesaver with my last cat when she got sick. I was able to give her two more years of quality because of the policy I had. I’m so pleased with the new options now too!

I wouldn't recommend

I wouldn't recommend. They nickel and dime your claims to death, look at any way to raise your monthly premiums and are not compassionate to people with disabilities which includes a TON of pet owners. I'll be canceling them at the 1 year mark as you are penalized and charged back for any claims you had if you don't insure for the 1st year. It's a scam.
