Nationwide cares for our pets.

Claims are always paid in a very timely manner and I wish our medical claims were paid as quickly.

Fantastic service and speedy claim process

I don’t know how I ever went without Nationwide Pet Insurance for my fur babies. They provide great resources and information on their website, their claim process is very simple, claim approval/denial is clear, and payment reimbursement was very quick. What a great service all-around!

Survival

I just need the vets to help my Gibbs skin allergy problem. It is severe and you see the pain he is in. Breaks your heart.

Excellent service

I’ve insured 3 dogs with Nationwide Pet Insurance over the past 13 years and never had any issues with claims or service. I recommend them to pet owners all the time.

We THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!!!

Dear Nationwide folks, I am writing this review to let you know how thankful I am that Nationwide is definitely on our side (just like the jingle)... I will make my story as short as possible. Last February, my sister was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and lost her battle in July. It was so quick and so devastating it crushed my heart to bits. Then my sweet fur baby Chessie started getting sick! I was utterly besides myself feeling as if the world decided to fall on me, not again... The vet bills where piling but I had to do what was needed to get her better again, “pets are family”. Hesitantly, I mailed my fur babies paperwork/claim expecting more negativity, but hoping for something more positive. Nationwide came through!!! They processed my claim and even emailed me to check on how my fur baby Chessie is doing!!! I am moved beyond words. After all the heartache of losing my sister and the stress of trying to get my fur baby healthy again, I am so grateful to finally realize that Nationwide is there to watch my fur babies back (and mine). Thank you for keeping it real Nationwide folks!!! We love you!
