Fast and easy
Our precious puppy got accidentally poisoned with rhododendron. We rushed to the hospital to get emergency care. However it was good to have peace of mind about financial coverage. Nationwide has covered our claim as expected. And our puppy has been doing great.

Awesome!
I called the Nationwide pet line to ask about what to do when I came home and found my cat wheezing. They directed me to seek care, and we did. I filed the claim from the emergency vet visit the next day and received a prompt response and quick turn around time on payment within a week. What a relief to know that I can get the care I need for my pet without worrying about cost hindering what I am able to authorize for her care. Thank you Nationwide!

Vet Helpline was excellent in giving recommendations when I felt helpless.
I decided to call the 24/7 Vet Helpline because I felt helpless around 9 pm on a Saturday when my vet was closed. I knew the only option was to go to the emergency room if things were bad. Obviously I was on the fence about bringing her to the emergency vet because I was unsure how serious the injury was. There were no visible signs of an injury, but you could tell there was discomfort. After consulting with the helpline, they recommended going after reviewing all the symptoms and that waiting could cause more harm. Additionally, it would give me a sense of relief. Knowing that I had insurance definitely motivated me to go to the ER or I might have waited until the vet opened on Monday stressed out. I was reimbursed within two weeks which was fast for Nationwide. Normally, they can take 3-4 weeks.
