Nationwide made this a lot easier

Our 2-yr old developed a swollen cheek. Our usual vet could not see a cause via ultrasound but did a drain and flush plus a round of antibiotics. When the swelling came back, they sent us to a specialty vet with the surgical skills and imaging to better deal with the problem. Their CAT scan-guided surgery removed an abscess that seemed to have formed around a piece of plant matter. He's been off antibiotics for a few days now and healing is looking promising. Six vet visits, two involving total anesthesia made for quite some expense. We really appreciated not having to worry so much about the cost as we decided what to do. The new Website design has improved the ease of submitting claims as well.

We love our pet insurance!

I’m very happy with my Nationwide pet insurance policy. My partner is in graduate school, and I work for a non-profit. We can afford the $60 a month to make sure that our pet is safe when it comes to larger emergencies. Once we hit our deductible, most everything is paid for. This has been a life saver with our dog who developed allergies, and who we recently had to take to an emergency vet. We both wanted a forever friend out of undergrad, and insurance has helped us provide high quality care to our pup. I was on the fence about it for about 4 months before I finally decided to sign up. I’m thankful for it everyday!

Seamless!

The claims process is easy, straightforward and transparent. I feel peace of mind when my dog is sick: we can just focus on getting her better and not think about the cost of treatment.

Exceptional service

So far (just the two months we've had Nationwide Pet Insurance), it has been such an easy process to submit claims and speak to a customer service representative. We've never had pet insurance before but when we decided to get a French Bulldog, we knew we needed to sign up for one. My cousin, Brandon Bach, recommended Nationwide to us, due to his own personal experience, and I'm happy to say I feel the same way he does. Although, I do believe there's still a lot to learn and experience, but I currently feel confident in staying with Nationwide. Thank you all, for helping us take care of our little guy.
