Called eating cardboard a "pre-existing condition" and did not pay
My dog ate a frozen pizza cardboard, and it got lodged in her small intestine. Took her to ER and was charged a lot of money for all test run, and x-rays. Nationwide didn't pay a penny, said it was a preexisting condition. I called them, wrote them, and after six months of no news and "we'll let you know" and then receiving letters calling it not covered - I was stuck for the entire invoice myself. I was very upset and unhappy with their non-committal attitude, and my dog died a few months later. I know that she needed surgery, it was pay $6000 out of my own pocket or put her down. I can't help but feel Nationwide basically doomed her life. I wouldn't use them for a pet worm.

Nationwide is the best to cover your fur baby!
My baby recently got a bacteria virus which cause him to be hospitalized for 2 days and the charges just kept racking up. I called Nationwide to one let them know and how they wanted me to submit. The representative was so nice and kind as I was scared and unsure what the outcome e for my baby was going to be. She assured me not to worry to submit my claims all together as I was paying and they would take it from there. My claims were turned around so quickly without any issues. Anyone who asks me about pet insurance I praise Nationwide!

Easy to use
We are new to Nationwide pet insurance, but I have been pleased with service and ease of making claims through the VitusVet app. So far, so good!
