Best Investment we Ever Made to Get Pet Insurance on our Fur Baby’s!

Suzie is not well, she has a Broken tooth that abscessed and has to come out on December 5 2019. We are hopeful she will come home and be back to her Happy Self very soon.

A Life Saver

I took out insurance through Nationwide when we added our GSD to the family. I knew I was going to have too much invested in his training and becoming a family member to risk losing him over a decision to maybe not have surgery in case of an emergency. I never really liked paying the premiums, but a couple of months ago it was a life saver for my dog. He started acting abnormal and in distress one evening, late of course, like nearly midnight. I tried to settle him down so I could get some sleep. He just wouldn't settle and was in distress. So... of to the 24hr Vet. ER at 1:00 am. What piece of mind it gave me knowing I could request the best and appropriate treatment with piece of mind. The initial xrays showed a possible obstruction with some of the organs out of place. There was time and the ER recommended me taking him to the Vet. first thing. The Vet. did updated photos and determined his organs were shifted and not right. Well, emergency surgery and he was save from Mesenteric Volvulus that is pretty rare and about 90 % fatal. My GSD made a quick and full recovery. The thousands of dollars in bills were TOTALLY covered minus my deductible with ZERO issues in filing the claim. OUTSTANDING SERVICE!!!! Now I pay my premiums happily each month. :-)
