Exactly Why We Opted For Pet Insurance

We obtained this insurance for exactly what it is to be used for - insurance against the potential unknown treatment needs of our dog. We have had this coverage for nearly 3 years, from when we brought our boy home from the breeder as a 7 week old pup. We have had no issues with claim submissions and processing of submitted expenses have been quick. We hope to not need to utilize the coverage in the future, but we have the added comfort of knowing we have the protection of this coverage should it be needed.

Amazing company-Life saver-Best thing you can do for your dog!

This company is a blessing to our family. After paying lots of money for vet bills when he was a puppy, we heard about pet insurance and signed up right away. Nationwide is awesome! Every person I have ever spoken to has been pleasant, kind, patient and caring. The vet helpline is beyond valuable for us pet parents. I highly recommend everyone get this insurance coverage for your fur babies. They deserve it! I never hesitate to take my babies to the vet if they need anything. It’s worth it!

Very Frustrating and Unclear Insurance Policies

Staff is very unhelpful and claims take ridiculously long to process.
