Fantastic

My dog recently had a small bowel obstruction and previously ACL repairs. All of those were surgeries and I am so grateful that I had pet insurance from Nationwide. I never expected these things to happen but they did. All of the folks I have dealt with at Nationwide were friendly, courteous, answered all my questions and concerns. When it came to being reimbursed for expenses from these surgeries, I sent all the documentation to Nationwide and literally within 10 days I had a response back and was reimbursed less the deductible electronically. I cannot say enough good things about this company and how they handle claims besides all the additional information they provide on a regular basis. If you have a dog or cat, one of the best decisions you can make is to get pet insurance. I highly recommend Nationwide.

Peace of mind, ease of claim reporting

I have 2 dogs with Nationwide and am thrilled with the service. I now have peace of mind that I can have my dogs' medical needs met without worry over the financial aspect. Veterinary care has become expensive as technology as aligned with human care, which gives us greater care for our pets, but also higher costs for their care. Insurance allows us to care for them as responsible owners without financial fear.

Excellent efficient claim processing.

We were referred to Nationwide by a neighbor who has been using them for 7 years. She raved about the service and coverage. She was right. We are extremely pleased with our experience. We also purchased the well care plan and are very pleased with the easy and efficiency of the claims processing and payment.
