Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Getting Nationwide Pet Insurance, especially the Whole Pet Wellness Plan, has been the best investment for my family. Especially recently when my pup has been sick requiring ongoing treatment, it is great to know I have Nationwide to help with cost and make sure Rico gets the care he needs. It gives me such piece of mind and the process is so easy. We really appreciate the service and commitment!

Preexisting conditions protocol could be tweaked. Otherwise, excellent service.

We've had Nationwide coverage for a few months now, insuring both our cat and our puppy. We're generally pleased with the coverage thus far. Submitting claims is very easy and issuance of reimbursement is prompt (~2-3 weeks for us). While still taking Nationwide with a grain of salt, since there are numerous other reviews that complain regarding Nationwide's willingness to cover some ailments, nevertheless our personal experience so far is enough to recommend Nationwide as a carrier.

Great customer service! But the premiums are a little expensive. Especially if you have more than one pet on the policy.

My premiums are too expensive!
