Don't get locked into this insurance company! Whole Pet + Wellness Review
I signed my Bernese Mountain Dog up for this insurance as a 3 month old puppy. I bought Whole Pet + Wellness plan that includes almost everything you can think of with a $250 deductible and covers 90% of everything else. My first year the premium was $714 which was very reasonable. Then the second year the premium increased to over $930 and now this year the premium has doubled since I started and is now over $1430 per year. My dog has been healthy and we have not submitted many claims. I am just worried about the future if Nationwide feels they can continue to increase the plan premium. over 100% increase in 2 years is ridiculous. I called about possibly adding a second pet (my new puppy) and the woman on the phone said I had a two dog discount but because the puppy would be needing to see the vet more the first year of coverage would cost over $1900 just for my puppy! Not to mention Eiger. I will NOT be using Nationwide in the future. The only reason I'm keeping my 3 year old on it is because the benefits are great. The payouts are slow to receive! I will be going with Trupanion, Embrace or Figo for my next dog.
