Expensive insurance however the service is superior.

I recommend Nationwide to everyone I meet and many have joined. Keep up to good work and I will continue to do so.

Easy to file claim, easy to get paid

Once you work out exactly what is needed (invoice and exam notes from doc) filing a claim is super easy, and getting paid is even easier. Nationwide has been a delight to work with. My dog was unexpectedly diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat (initially thought to be dilated cardiomyopathy.) We had to do a bunch of expensive tests to rule out DCM, and Nationwide supported us the whole time and made the claims process as easy as possible.

Great coverage, great service

We love Nationwide Pet Insurance for our pet. Filing claims is fast and easy. Claims are reviewed usually within 2 weeks. We have never had an issue with the claims that we file and most if not all services have been covered or apply to our deductible.

No panic when a vet’s visit is needed.

Betty has some chronic issues— ear infections is the biggest. Each time symptoms pop up, I don’t fear the bill that will follow. Filing on my phone app is smooth and seamless. Payment has even been coming before the credit card bill!
