Nationwide has been covering my pets 10+ years

Nationwide has been covering all my pets for more than a decade. I lost my job March 1st and missed a couple payments. I called to inform them of the situation, they said I could catch up when I'm able. Then, they cancelled my dogs policy in April and won't reinstate it in June. I paid from her birth until now, and now you're saying she might have pre-existing conditions. I will never use your service again, and will tell everyone I know not to. You are a scam.

No Customer Loyalty

Been a customer with 5 Pets on plans for over 4 (some of them 6) years and was given misinformation by one of the customer representatives causing 3 of my pets plans to lapse. I was very understanding that mistakes happen and I had to reenroll them.. that was up until through the process my within a year records weren’t good enough and now I have to pay for an exam that would’ve been covered had I not been given misinformation. - If I’m completely starting over with a company I’ve been loyal to but isn’t willing to work with me in return, might as well shop around since have to start from complete scratch anyway.

Daniel was awesome

Daniel was awesome, super informative and helpful with regard to the new policies. We are adding a new pet so I needed a comparison to our current policies. He helped me work through a quote and get our new adoptee's coverage underway!

Kevin explained the policies available to me and was very detailed and helpful. He was able to link our new pet with our other 2 pets that are also covered.
