Thankful for our insurance!

After our dog decided to eat his favorite stuff animal (tip to tail; it was a fox), he stopped eating and drinking and was in obvious pain. This meant a day spent in a waiting room, an overnight in the doggie ER, and a $1700 bill. The good news is that he's fine. The other good news is that our insurance paid almost all of us with a promptly-received check. Thank you, Nationwide!

Quick and painless!

My dog recently needed TWO root canals and I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have Nationwise Pet Insurance. It was super easy to submit my claim and I was surprised by how quickly it was processed. Customer service was great when I called to ask a few questions and overall I am super happy. Thank you for helping me get Bear the proper care he needed!

Not one complaint. Do your pet and your wallet a favor...get Nationwide!

I can’t express enough how foolish it is not to have pet insurance. It truly saves you a ton of money. Don’t learn the hard way like me and wait until after a $10,000 ACL surgery to realize you should’ve had pet insurance!

Quick Payment Turnaround

Thanks to Nationwide for a quick turnaround (4 days) in issuing a check for the $1,500+ bill I had for a recent operation on my golden retriever. It is nice to know that a check was wired so soon after the operation. This definitely helped with getting the bills paid and let us concentrate on getting our boy feeling better.
