Nationwide get 10/10, 5* and two thumbs up from me and my three pups

I've had pet insurance on all my dogs since 1998 with three different companies over the years. Nationwide now gets my business because of their customer service, prices, efficiency of filing a claim using the app and speed of repayment and direct deposit. But more importantly I love the inclusion of dogs who are breed by responsible breeders. I breed Longhaired Weimaraners and I do wish pet insurance companies would take into account the thousands of dollars we spend on Pinn Hip, OFA and DNA testing and give discounts based on the data we get from those tests that prove our dogs are healthy.

Takes a level of anxiety off our shoulders

It’s hard having a dog with chronic problems. To be able to not think twice concerning the cost of going to the vet, I’m keeping my dog fit and healthy. The process of entering the bills is another example. The VITUS app is amazing.

People there understand the emotions of the "owner" of the sick animal.

Our puppy has had a rough start but she is getting better. We have had to make several claims and the response so far has been fair and clear. We've been very grateful to have insurance so we could get good care for her.

A Great Stress Reliever

Nationwide pet insurance has been a great relief for me having a new kitten in the house. Having a kitten is expensive, but with nationwide paying a big chunk of her kitten shots, wellness visits, and spaying it has been a great help. I don't have to choose between the health of my fur baby and my wallet. It has been beyond easy to make a claim and I have received the money straight into my bank account in less than a week every time. I will never have a pet in the future without having this.
