Feedback on Nationwide Pet Insurance

I found out that my premium for Biscuit went up over 70% this year and I am paying over $225 a month for his care. This is an incredible mark up in price and it puts as you of course know in a bad spot. So, do I cancel and just pay out of pocket thousands of dollars as he is a senior or do I pay the premium every month even though nothing is wrong with him now. I can't switch to another insurer because he has pre-existing conditions. So you got me! Such a sad story. I can tell you this much, if he so much as coughs, I am taking him to the vet to maximize my premium. And it is a good thing that I go to one of the best and most expensive Vet practices in the city. So, I will make the most of this plan. But I will never join Nationwide pet insurance in the future. You should not increase premiums based on location and on age.

Feel safer with Nationwide

I am a true believer in insurance (including the wellness option) for my pets. It gives me great comfort that we are prepared for everything, especially at the puppy phase. Nationwide makes it easy.

Nationwide has been fantastic with reimbursements on my Baby Teddy's medical expenses.

My boy Teddy has had a rough year and thanks to Nationwide Pet Insurance it has eased mom's anxiety money-wise. Whenever I've needed their advice they have always been there for us.

Having a puppy is stressful enough. Thanks for having our back when we get sick. Prompt payment is greatly appreciated.
