The online claim process is easy and efficient!

Although the cost of the policy rose over 40% from 2019 to 2020, competitive insurance prices are within $20 of Nationwide. It is unfortunate that pet insurance has risen so substantially in one year, and may be unaffordable for the coverage needed in the next few years. Nationwide online claim processing is easy and efficient, an improvement over the past years when we either had to mail or fax claims.

So much better than Trupanion

Unlike Nationwide, Trupanion applies the deductible to every payment. Nationwide also provides more coverage. I’ve recommended Nationwide to pet owners.
