I only graded customer service low since I've never had to call. The claim process is so easy and smooth!
Pearl hurt her leg. I had ease of mind due to pet insurance to get the care for her that she needed to heal fast.

Good claim service, but pre-existing conditions practice make it difficult to use
I signed up for Nationwide this year for pet insurance for the first time. There are a lot of positive aspects of how you submit claims, etc., but what has made it difficult to get value from it has been how they have gone into my pet's history to identify any pre-existing conditions or even current conditions that may have been related to earlier conditions. Basically, unless your dog is in perfect health or if you are anticipating new expenses as your dog ages, then this probably isn't a good value.
