Definitely worth peace of mind

I know some people are skeptical about pet insurance. But with my household, it has been an absolute godsend. We have a multiple pet family, and some are precluded from insurance due to age and preexisting conditions. So it's nice to have a backup plan if one of my younger ones gets ill or injured. Reimbursement has been super fast, 3-4 days after claim submittal at most. Easy to submit claims online.

Claims are processed quickly and hassle-free.

As our cat ages, we find the insurance invaluable.

I am extremely happy with Nationwide Pet insurance & highly recommended it to any dog owner with an active companion

So far, I am extremely happy with Nationwide Pet Insurance. Submitting claims is much easier than expected and turn around time is very good. For my next dog, I will get insurance immediately. If your dog is active or inquisitive, you will never know when he might get sick or injury. Much better knowing that there will be some financial assistance, if an issue does arrive. My dog is a key member in my family & brings me lots of joy. I need to keep him healthy.
