Solid Insurance
I’m really a fan of nationwide. Even though my price has gone up again, I think it started at $55 which is so affordable, now I’m up to $79. That is a big jump and a lot per month especially during these times. I looked at other companies to switch, just to see and what I found will make me a nationwide pet insurance holder forever. As much as it is per month I am willing to pay (but please don’t raise it anymore!!!!) it because at the end of the day, it’s the easiest plan to understand and covers the most. I called before Sully had her dental cleansing to just confirm it was covered and the woman was so kind and very to the point which I love. Also I cannot express how amazing it was to see my $973 bill and then get $878 back.
So do I wish it was a little bit cheaper per month, totally. But the cost of knowing my beloved dog is well taken care of is more than I could ask for.

GOOD COVERAGE BUT THEY WILL CHANGE YOUR COVERAGE WHEN YOU FILE A CLAIM
I would say the communication part could be improved by just communicating with the customer. My claim we delayed over 30 days and no explanation of why. My claim was for a back surgery and now the underwritten permanently excluded skin allergies. However, when i signed up it said 6 months no issues. That was very shady for the company to remove that coverage permanently due to my claim for a back surgery. I will be looking for another insurance provider her in the near future. That just rubbed me the wrong way and no communication once again. Only a letter but didn't tell me why. My guess is because you covered the claim for the back surgery.
