Best decision I have ever made for my pets!

My girls are well taken care by me and having Nationwide allows me to take care of what is needed with no questions to get them the care they need. I have been a loyal customer for over 20 years and best decision I have ever made for my girls!

Prompt payment and easy claim service that helped us in economically uncertain times.

We had to take our dog to the vet two times in two weeks. Filing the claims were really easy online and payment was issued within a week. Nationwide has been great at providing peace of mind for my family as we care for our sweet dog.

Very Delayed Claim Processing Times

I have filed many claims thus far, and I have only had one smooth experience with Nationwide. Oftentimes, they request more information or specifics that I had already submitted. Not to mention, I have a claim that has taken nearly 2 months to process, and they have reached out letting me know it could take an additional 30 days. This prevents my dog from getting the care he needs because we cannot depend on our insurance to reimburse us in a timely matter or even give us updates in a timely matter. We are overall very disappointed.

Very impressed with the claim turnaround

Random had two visits to the vet - one for her annual wellness and one for an unexpected condition. My claims were reviewed and paid in less than 10 days. I am very impressed with Nationwide's prompt attention.
