We have had pet insurance from…

We have had pet insurance from nationwide for over ten years. For my current dog, it has been 7 years. The company decided to stop offering the policy that my dog had for all these years. I am now expected to re-apply as if he were a brand new dog. Any conditions that he has now, like his allergies, are considered a pre-existing condition that will not be covered under the new policy. We also have to jump through hoops to provide nationwide with his prior physical documentation - over six months old, even though they have that information on record under his previous policy.

The process was easy and quick

The process was easy and quick. I have used your company for another pet and the coverage was more than I expected when she fell ill and died suddenly. You managed that situation very well and your customer service was great, which is why I am returning.
