Dependable

My small 8 year old fur baby Luna got attacked by a big dog during a hike, aside from the grief of seeing her helpless and sick, the anxiety on the cost of her treatment did not help too. But I’m thankful I have Nationwide Pet Insurance for her, they are a big help financially and lessens the stress we are having while we patiently wait for Luna to recover.

Submitting a claim was easy, online, and there were no hangups

Submitting a claim was really easy. The personal account page could be formatted much better. Overall good experience. I wish I could check a more specific status of where my claim is in the process without having to email customer service. Direct deposit payment was great; they completed my claim in about 2.5-3 weeks.

Fast, reliable, kind!

Claim reimbursement in the past has taken forever, but I appreciate the speedy approval and reimbursement I’ve received lately! It feels great to not have to worry about how to pay for expensive treatments on a recurring basis. If I ever need to call, I speak with a compassionate animal lover - and not just an insurance company.
