Continued great experience

Unfortunately, I’ve had 4 claims for trauma for my 2 dogs in 4 years. The good part is that Nationwide Pet Insurance continues to make it easy to submit the claims and is very clear on what they paid and why (example: everything except my $250 deductible). I love having Chase pay as an option for electronically receiving my reimbursement. I’ve been very pleasantly surprised at the wonderful experience I continue to have (although I hope to not have to submit any more injury/illness claims).

Prompt Reimbursements

Nationwide is great at processing my claims and reimbursing me in a quick and efficient manner. I am very thankful that I have the insurance to help me care for my boy. My only complaint with Nationwide is the rate of annual increases . . . I'm afraid at some point (probably the next increase) they'll price me right out of being able to afford it, now that my boy is 11 years old.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.

Coverage

Nationwide offers a variety of plans offering varying levels of coverage. The company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness, offers 90% reimbursement for accident, injury, illness and wellness care, inclusive of exam fees. All Nationwide members have complimentary 24/7 access to vethelpline.
