So happy we got pet insurance for our dog!

It is so reassuring and comforting knowing that we can take our dog to the vet and will get assistance in paying for the vet bill. Nationwide makes it so easy to submit claims and super easy to get payment back! Best move ever.

Great Insurance with excellent customer service.

I believe the cost is a little too high, but I'm also happy with the insurance I have. Although I spent a lot every paycheck, I'm giving the confidence to go to any Vet and have my costs covered. I'm also extremely satisfied with the customer service provided, and how concerned everyone is about my pet. I will definitely recommend this insurance.

Reviewing part of a claim charge denied & paying it after all

I appreciate the re-review of a charge on a claim denied & then paid.

Thank you for the speedy process

Thank you very much for asking the progress of Nunu's dental procedure. He is doing great and recovered fully. Also, thank you very much for the speedy claim process.

Customer service was awesome! Helped explain some confusion with how to file the claim.

There is one area when filing a claim that is confusing. It asks for "Vet diagnosis" - when really it is simply an area to write the nature of the visit - why the pet needed treatment. I wrote the exact terms from the Vet invoice and my claim was initially sent back - "needing a diagnosis". The customer service rep was so helpful - I simply had to write what was going on - my claim was then instantly accepted! YAY!
