Phone vs online enrollment

I've used Nationwide pet insurance for years, but usually used the site to enroll new pets. This time I did it via phone and it was just as smooth going as online. Michael was a delight to work with

Dishonest customer service

Dishonest customer service. They canceled the coverage for one of my two dogs and then doubled the premium. They did this because he turned 7 years old. They lied that payment hadn't been made when the premium has always been set to auto withdrawal from my bank account and payment had been withdrawn for my six year old dog. Very sketchy and unethical.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.
