Thank you for caring for Blue

Nationwide has been nothing but helpful and easy to work with. We’ve had a rough year with our baby’s health but they’ve been there and I’m very thankful we have our insurance for Blue through Nationwide

Deceased

Overall, your program is a good one. Just wish that an email like this would take into account the nature of the last claim that was sent, which was for the euthanasia and cremation of our Mandy. I know it's probably just an automated system, but it actually brought up some very sad feelings.

Piece of mind with Nationwide on your side (I think it is a great slogan. You should trademark it!)

I choose to select a top of the line coverage for Winston since it is a new puppy and requires a lot of care and attention in his first year. Including neutering, shots, and all maintenance medications (Fleas/ticks, heartworm, etc. ). All is at 90% coverage. has a long experience with VIP pet insurance, now Nationwide, so had no doubt to put a new puppy with trusted company.
