I would have given a 10 for everything if my monthly premium didn't go up so much!

I have thoroughly enjoyed being with Nationwide -- starting with the monthly cost, the coverage, ease of submitting claims and the direct deposit for reimbursement. However, the fact that my premium went up by $38 PER MONTH will not be sustainable if it continues every year. My dog is healthy and the only claims last year were for spaying and wellness check up. I could almost understand such an increase if she was sickly and constantly at the vet, but that's not the case. I will ride it out this year, but going forward if it continues to increase in this way, I will have to leave Nationwide.

A real relief and great pet surgery insurance provider.

During this difficult time with my dog Ernie, Nationwide has been extremely helpful with the bills. They review the claims quickly and send the amount for the claim quickly.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.
