So glad we have Nationwide Insurance

I was skeptical about getting insurance for my dog Dexter, but I'm so glad I did. He was diagnosed with pancreatitis just after his 10th birthday, about 6 months after coverage began. I'm thankful Nationwide is taking the financial stress out of this stressful situation. Now the only thing I have to worry about is providing the best care for Dexter.

Multiple Pets

I have two dogs on my nationwide plan with wellness. One young dog and one older. I have not experienced any difference or difficulty in how they process eligible expenses for either, which to me would have been the deal breaker. I'm sure with what I paid over the year and what I was reimbursed, I would be ahead if I didn't choose insurance, but the peace of mind I've had knowing if some emergency were to happen, that I would have insurance to help them is priceless.

There's a lot Nationwide doesn't cover

Nationwide covers some of our costs. And I can understand not covering pre-existing conditions. What I don't understand is, for example, when our other dog had a cyst rupture. Yes, he'd had the cyst when we got him. And it sat there for several years doing nothing. But this year, it ruptured causing a terrible infection (which needed treatment), and requiring a biopsy and removal of the cyst. It cost us a lot and it would have been great to have reimbursement on that. It wasn't our fault, or the dogs or any result of lack of care. It just happened.Why doesn't Nationwide cover things like that?
