Very fast reimbursement

I have had my dog and Nationwide insurance for almost 3 years. We got our pup from a rescue and she was 1 1/2 years old at the time. Unfortunately she has had a lot of medical issues over that time including two expensive knee surgeries. Thanks to Nationwide I don't have to stress about the cost of her treatments. The coverage is the best and I get my money back very quickly. I have had no problems with the insurance and would recommend it to everyone.

Nationwide is simply the best.

Nationwide makes claims easy and turnaround for pay out is quick! My dog has had lots of issues and I’m always nervous about the costs but thankful to have such great coverage.

Worth It!

I feel like some people are hesitant about getting dog insurance in the first place. I have had a few dogs and I can say they become your family and you want to do everything in your power to save them. Recently my almost-three-year-old dog somehow swallowed a foreign object and is the only way he was going to make it was surgery. The vets did an amazing job and saved his life and then Nationwide covered 90% of all his expenses. I was so thrilled I had insurance with Nationwide. Worth the money!
