This plan offers relief when there is an emergency

Mabel is doing much better after her visit to the ER vet. I'm so glad to have this coverage. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to take care of her when things like this happens.

I had no idea when I joined how much the premiums went up.

I have 2 dogs insured and the cost went up $80 this year and I am now spending $200/month on top of $500 in deductibles. My dogs are only 5 and 7.....I am afraid of what it would be in ten years and more! This is already too much for me. I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place because it is not wise to change due to preexisting conditions and more. I do not know what is going to happen and it is very disheartening. I should have done more research!

Peace of Mind

I have a new puppy and already knew that there would be vet costs to expect in her first year. I also knew that the probability of something happening in her first year was high, so I went ahead and purchased the insurance. It was the best thing I could have done! Now, if anything happens, I have the peace of mind to know I am covered financially! In addition, filing a claim is simple, can even be done from my phone, and Nationwide is prompt with their review and payment.
