Whole Pet & Wellness is the way to go

Our pet was recently hospitalized from an unknown stomach issue and had to see 3 separate vets/hospitals for diagnosis and treatment. Nationwide Whole Pet and & Wellness plan is amazing because we submitted the claims and heard back extremely fast and with our 90% reimbursement in our pockets within a week. Pet Insurance is the way to go.

So thankful for Nationwide

My cat Judo has struggled with upper respiratory issues and bloody sneezing on/off for 2+ years. We've had Nationwide the whole time. We finally got to the bottom of it with extensive diagnostics recently and turns out he has fungus in his nose. :( Thankfully Nationwide covered 90% of the diagnostics (>$2000) and the subsequent 4 month supply of medication (>$1500). We would've treated him either way but Nationwide took a huge financial burden off of our minds and we are grateful for it!

Fast process

Glad to have Nationwide cover most of my little guy's expenses and in a timely manner. Once my claim was submitted, I had my reimbursement within a week's time.

Excellent Customer Service

Our dog had to have emergency surgery, which we did not hesitate to pay for. I obtained her medical records from the Vet and submitted a claim. Received an email stating claim was received and payment not long after. Totally satisfied knowing my fur baby's insurance is an excellent one. Thank you

Don't GIVE 10's as nothing is perfect, but we are completely satisfied with the insur. plan, cost climb each year a bit much.

This has been a great plan, altho each year the cost climb is disappointing, our BCBS family plan does not climb the way the, Nationwide Pet Plan climbs and that is a bit disappointing as the BCBS plan for people, really gets used "a lot" more than the Pet's. But Customer service is great to chat with and overall, our pet is healthy, happy is loving life each day!!!!
