Nationwide is Great Pet Insurance!

Easy claims process, timely processing of claims, prompt payments, and they cover what the promise to cover - with no hidden gotchas. I would highly recommend Nationwide for pet insurance.

Insurance that actually protects your pets and provides excellent service.

I have been happy with the clarity of their coverage, the ease of submitting claims, the price of the policy, and the quickness of any reimbursements.

Good but little things can be improved

Overall happy. However after submitting a wellness vet visit for reimbursement I got an email saying Nationwide was hoping my dog was feeling better. It makes it a whole lot less genuine when the visit wasnt for a sickness and was classified under wellness. So now if I got another email it wouldn't mean anything. Lost the credibility there. Otherwise the processes are fine and clear. Could improve speed of reviewing and paying out. I had a different company previously who approved and submitted in 48 hours. Doesnt have to be that fast but a week would be better.

this insurance is very helpful with animals that have a serious condition but can live a normal life.

Years and years ago, i was asked to purchase insurance for my pet and at that time the coverage was very poor from the companies at that time and really did not make sense to buy insurance for your pets. Now the insurances are better capable of handling your claims and at a fair price. This company has helped in the way of how it covered our pets needs and they do get concerned about individual pets.
