Best pet insurance we found!

We shopped around, as did a good friend who also has a new dog, and while they didn't get covered for a spay, we sure did! No hassles, great coverage. Thanks for being there, Nationwide :)

Consistency in claims processing

All of my initial claims were processed within a week of me submitting the information which made for a great experience. My recent and largest claim hit a road block that has slowed processing significantly. Had I known that medical records and notes needed to be sent with the claims, I would been doing so after every visit. As it seems the reading of medical records takes a few weeks before decision is made on my claim. My expectations of “ease of claims” has changed.

Could not recommend more!

I had another insurance company before Nationwide and I am so glad I switched. They are wonderful and pay back in a timely manner, and has never given me grief about any claims. I try to tell everyone I know about them!

Great coverage and piece of mind!

I think my dog has better health insurance than me! He’s mostly a healthy dog, but I can rest easy knowing he’s covered in the case of an emergency.
