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.

Nationwide Pet Insurance is peace of mind always.

Our beautiful dog Fuss suddenly got very, very sick and it was the scariest, most heart wrenching two weeks of our lives. Because we have Nationwide pet insurance, her excellent veterinary care and hospitalisation saved our baby's life and didn't lead us into financial ruin. We have so much appreciation for Nationwide and recommend their pet insurance 110%. Sending an enormous, heartfelt thank you from Kathy, Chuck and Fuss. :)
