Thank you for taking the worry of high cost Vetrinary care away.

Never in 100 years would I have thought my dog would tear an ACL, but she did. I was worried about not being able to pay for the care she needed. I thought I would be paying a credit card bill for the next 5 years. The claim was settled quickly and covered almost all of her surgery. My girl has already healed and is back to her normal routine. Thank you for taking the worry away.

Happy to be with Nationwide!

I signed up for Nationwide Pet Insurance in November and recently submitted my first claims. I was very pleased with the response time to review the claims and the favorable processing of most of the claims. I switched from another company whose level of support for our two senior dogs was much lower, at an equal expense, so I am really happy with the change.

As soon as my dog got really sick, they refused the claim.

Fine for annual vet visits, vaccines, Heartguard but the second my dog got really sick, they turned down the claim. No one was available to discuss the issue. We were with the company they purchased for most of our dogs' lives, Nationwide got ahold of that company and it was all over. Two of my dogs have since passed, one of cancer. Paying for this insurance was the biggest waste of money we have ever made. Watching their commercials makes me sick.
