NEVER USE NATIONWIDE

DO NOT EVER USE NATIONWIDE FOR ANYTHING ESPECIALLY PET INSURANCE!!! Garret has pet insurance with them through his job and we just got notice that they are canceling the policy for our dog and cat on December 1st due to "rising cost" and "inflation". I will never use them again and never ever recommend them to anyone and I urge anyone that has them to switch.

Expensive and not really worth it

People are nice. Insurance goes up by $100+ dollars every year (and this is for a young dog with zero issues, zero claims and no pre existing conditions). Not worth it…oh and good luck trying to get information on your insurance unless you call them.

It is 7 years I have Nationwide pet…

It is 7 years I have Nationwide pet insurance for my rabbits. All over the years they made an unbelievable increase of the price from $11 to $70-80 a month especially for old rabbits with $250 annual deductible, but the annual refund for everything (except wellness) was 70% of the veterinarian invoice until $10.000 per year. Well, now Nationwide replaced this policy with a very poor one: only 50% of the veterinarian invoice until $3000 annual refund for illness but they kept $250 deductible. On this way they will penalize small/exotic pet to prioritize dogs and cats. With this big change people maybe be discouraged to adopt an exotic pet from a shelter. Very very sad and disappointed !
