So far so good

I file pet insurance for my mom for her pets who has a hard time taking care of them. The first time was difficult to navigate even for me as a vet tech. The second time was much easier as I did it through the app. So far they’ve been fair and handled both claims well.

Easy and Reliable!

This has been the best decision getting my puppy insured! I send a receipt of my vet bill and within 2 weeks I have a check back in the mail! Customer service is amazing and it really give you the peace of mind that your pup is protected.

Calvin's heart murmur

Thank goodness for Nationwide pet insurance. My precious Westie is 12 now and was just recently diagnosed with a heart murmur. I had a choice of having him checked by specialist to find the cause or just keep an eye on it. Because I have my Calvin insured, I was able to afford to have him undergo a thorough exam to determine the cause and extent of his murmur. Fortunately, he is only in the very beginning stages of canine heart disease and no treatment is necessary at this point. He should live a healthy extended lifewith proper care and check ups. I have peace of mind because of Nationwide and Calvin is doing great

Fast and fair claim process.

I have had this insurance for over a year and a half and the service has been outstanding. Any issues were handled quickly. Some claims take a little longer due to the complexity. Overall I’m extremely satisfied.

Policy Charges

Lexy is doing fine but she's worried about one thing. Every year that she gets older Nationwide keeps raising the policy premiums and Lexy is worried her owner won't be able to insure her if it continues to be raised any higher. Lexy said she would get a job to help cover the costs but she can't find a job that matched her skills.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.
