Thank you for being awesome

Have had to file 4 claims in the past couple of months and have appreciated Nationwide's system of review and making the process very easy. They applied the deductions, which I was already aware of, and approved at least 90% of the claims after that. SO thankful, as we were not expecting so many emergency situations to come up as they did for our dog Bear. Really glad I joined Nationwide and totally recommend them.

Great service

For the past 11 years we have been very happy with per insurance services It gives us peace of mind. We r grateful Junior has been overall a healthy boxer he does tend to be accident prone but in his old age he is slowing down a bit. We go on walks everyday he wakes up happy and energized, we cook his meals using whole grains and mostly organic vegetable and protein which we feel contributes to his overall health we are expecting many more years with Junior Thank you

Excellent

Fast, excellent responses. I am wondering if the next years price increase will again double? If so I may have to make some changes.

Delay Delay and more Delay

I had a very difficult time to try to get reimbursed on my dog's claims. Nationwide stated he claims never received even though I had someone assisting me. We had to try numerous times to have the claim/questionnaire sent from the Vets to Nationwide. Delays delays and more delays. Nationwide requested information about my dog before he was even born! My dog was at the breeder from May 2019 to December 2019. They insisted on information about him when he was weeks old! I didn't own him then. sigh. I would highly recommend Michelle Santos for monitoring the claim/questionnaire. If it was not for her, I'd still be waiting.
