This is why we have pet insurance!

Like most insurance you pay for, you hope to never have to use it. For the average well visits, etc, having insurance has not been much of a help, but when our dog developed gastrointestinal issues which necessitated weeks’ worth of treatment including tests, IV fluids and medications, etc. and our bills added up to over $3000, we got 2/3 of that back after making our insurance claim. That was a huge help to us, and I am very satisfied and pleased with how Nationwide handled this. Thankfully she is fine now.

Who Was That Masked Man?

If anyone remembers the Lone Ranger TV series, he righted wrongs and rode off without taking credit. But Nationwide-you should take credit From the outset of coverage, claims handling for our somewhat accident-prone Princess Doobs (Lucky Doobie-perhaps a misnomer) remains stellar. She's 3 yrs and 7 mos now and coverage started at 12 weeks of age, so that's a good time frame in which to present a consistent track record, which Nationwide has done. Prompt, easy, and with follow-up. Beats my healthcare coverage, leaving us to ask, "Who was that masked man?". Instead of the TV answer of someone saved, "Does this silver bullet tell you anything?" Dobbie's folks say, "Does this prompt & direct deposit reimbursement tell you anything?" It does. Hooray Nationwide.
