Nationwide's app makes pet insurance easy! I had their insurance for my older dogs. Such a great experience with Nationwide, that I added my puppy.

Alex was very helpful on the phone

Alex was very helpful on the phone. I give him a 5 star review. However, I have a complaint about policy coverage which I know Alex has no control over... I have been a Nationwide Pet insurance customer for over 10 years. I have two new kittens. I'm disappointed that there is no "kitten exclusion" for the 14 day waiting period for coverage. I have new kittens who are 8 weeks old. I want to take them in for their first kitten appointment right away, but although I purchased coverage today, I cannot use my coverage for 14 days. By definition an 8 week old kitten who has not been to the vet does not have medical records that need to be reviewed by underwriting. I'm am left making a choice to postpone my kittens health check or pay for it myself even though I have paid for insurance. I can't justify having their health check delayed so I will pay for it myself. Disappointed that kitten coverage is not available to my kittens immediately.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.
