Been a Nation Wide Pet Insurance customer since my pup was 3 months old, now she's 4 years and still receiving the best care

Nationwide has always been priced fairly, makes claims easy, and is always reaching out to check on the health of my pet. I recently moved across country, I called customer service to change my address and find out how the move would affect my insurance rates and the process was simple as can be. Customer service was quick, friendly, and helpful, best yet my rates didn't go up.

A+ Rating For Nationwide

I have two dogs insured through nationwide pet insurance. Over the years I have been extremely lucky that my dogs were never really sick, but this past year my oldest dog started to limp and had a swollen lymph node in that same leg. I was terrified that it was something serious...but through process of elimination and great vet care we solved the problem and he is well again. I was partially covered for most tests and fully covered for others. The claim processing time was not very long either. I am grateful to nationwide for making the process easy and giving this pet parent peace of mind.

Disappointed in coverage

There's nothing you can fix at this time. I was a first time GSD owner and also first time buying pet insurance. I wish that someone had explained to me that my coverage does not include hip dysplasia and that I should get my insurance from another provider that does because GSDs even though you are told by breeder their hips are fine, they aren't. I am left with a purepred GSD who has two bad hips that would need replacement and she is only 4. Unfortunately, we don't have $5000 for this type of surgery. So I have alot to be upset about. Your company should cover hip dysplasia surgery. For now, we just manage and hope that doesn't occur for a long time. Thank you. Judi Carey
