Smartest purchase for your pet

Nationwide has been amazing in paying for all my dogs treatment. He isn't even 2 yet, has had 1 surgery, 1 endoscopy (he likes to swallow things whole), he has had acupuncture & laser treatment, he has seen a neurologist & dermatologist and they have covered everything. The first couple claims, I wasn't really sure I would get reimbursed since I'd never had this kind of insurance before but I never had an issue. Everything has been reimbursed and in a very quick timeframe. It's a wonderful thing to know I will never have to make a decision on my dogs healthcare options because I just can't afford it. I have talked with many people who have pet insurance & say it covers nothing, that is not the case here. My 1st year premium was $45/month. But one emergency procedure can cost thousands. Hopefully you never have to use it, but I have a lot & it has saved me financially. It is worth every penny & I recommend Nationwide to everyone.

Awesome company to deal with

I signed Lily up for pet insurance back in July of 2019. Luckily, we have only had to use it for routine vaccinations and one minor illness. Coverage is excellent, payments are received fast once your deductible is met. I was in a panic one night after normal vet office hours and used the vet helpline which was very helpful. Lily is a very active 17 month old, it makes me feel better knowing that she has pet insurance with a reliable company in case of any emergencies.

Cant’ Get Any Easier

We discovered what it looked like a cyst under his jaw. Took him to the vet, got seen and treated with antibiotics. After meeting our annual deductible, his visit and treatment was covered at 90%. The claim submission was easy, it was reviewed and approved within a week or less; and the credit was electronically deposited within a day of approval. Thank you for the promptness.

I am the poster child for why you should have pet insurance

I have had a roller coaster of health issues since i got her three years ago with the most serious happening this year. I would have been really in a poor financial position without the pet insurance
