glad to have insurance on a pure bred dog, but wish it covered more of total costs put out

Decided to purchase insurance on 2nd Doberman after multiple issues w/first Dobie. So far is worth it but costly and doesn't cover a lot of the expenses. I feel it's more of a catastrophic coverage policy. It does give a portion back on normal fees and the process is simple w/my vet sending the info to Nationwide. Nationwide is prompt at refunding as well and when I've had to speak w/representatives they are very helpful and polite.

New pay promptly is great

I like that Nationwide has been paying my claims quickly - its very helpful -- while sometimes I do not get back as much as I would like, it is helpful at this time in my dog's life as she is a senior dog now, and needs more support.

The Ultimate Pet Insurance

After having 4 sweet & furry four legged babies, we decided to obtain pet insurance. With much research and trepidation, we enrolled with Nationwide. All of our fears were quickly eliminated after our first claim! It is without a doubt the easiest process; easy submittal, quick processing time, customer reps available without any delay and speedy payments. We are so pleased that we chose Nationwide and have recommended the plan to others with confidence. Thank you for eliminating our doubts and ensuring insurance for our best friends.

Submitting a claim for my pet is a very simple process through Nationwide and easy to do within minutes! Nationwide is extremely quick to process claims. I received a check for my pet's service within 2 weeks of submitting.
