I insured my cat with Nationwide from…
Do not consider Nationwide if you want to have your pet covered. The insurance is supposed to protect you when your pet gets sick. In my experience, Nationwide was there when I had my monthly payments, but not when my cat actually needed care. After years of loyalty, I felt abandoned and misled. I would not recommend Nationwide to anyone looking for reliable coverage for a pet with any illness. They will simply say it is breed related and take it as uncovered even if this is not stated in any policy documents.
I insured my cat with Nationwide from the day I brought him home. When he was diagnosed with a serious heart condition at age two, Nationwide immediately began reducing coverage and looking for reasons to deny claims.
First, they cut my coverage options by about 50%. Then they claimed his condition was hereditary and breed-related, despite my veterinarian providing written confirmation that it was not. Nationwide ignored the medical opinion and maintained its denial.

We were former customers with our late dog, so we knew once we had another pet we’d be back. Kevin made signing up our Indian Ringneck quick and easy. He sounded genuinely interested and excited about our new bird.
