So grateful for the excellent service and prompt reimbursement for my sweet pup.

I was so stressed about having surgery on my sweet dog, Sara, but knowing that part of the expense would be covered by my pet insurance helped relieve my anxiety! The reimbursement was prompt and appreciated. Thank you so much..

Glad To Have Coverage

I appreciate having insurance in the event of a devastating illness and its accompanying costs, which is the reason I bought the policy. And knock-on-wood, we haven't faced that yet. In the meanwhile, the relatively normal & expected costs so far have been covered to my satisfaction. Thank you very much Nationwide!

Pleased with outcome.

I would recommend Nationwide. This company helps with wellness care costs; have not found any other insurer that will help with routine wellness care costs.

Grateful

Submitted my claim, got a refund for most of my bill quicker than I thought, no questions asked. 👍 My only concern is there should be some preventative maintenance allowance. You say you don't pay for boarding. I get it. But if I hadn't have had boarded Rusty I would have had a reopened wound and another ER visit plus more stitches. I did try one day and yup back to vet to help wrap his tender tail. That equals more money than just boarding him so the vet can make sure he doesn't pull bandage off again. He has a big head and wore the largest cone offered 24/7 but he could still reach his tale and pull bandage off. Thus why boarding him made more since. Preventative maintenance. He was only day boarded when I was at work.
