Kuno's appointments; recurring infections

Nationwide has been great in accepting claims and reimbursing most of the cost, even with 2-3 followup visits. Kuno is looking better and I thank Nationwide for helping cover most of the costs.

Very Pleased!

Nationwide has been great in making sure my dog is taken care of! I now don't have anxiety going to the vet because I know I will be able to afford everything with their help. The insurance has almost paid for itself already! Very pleased and will continue this service forever with my pup, Darcy!

Cat got treatment and I got reimbursed

I took out the Nationwide pet insurance because it was a program thru my employer and I had a cat in the past, that after multiple sickness visits, cost my family large amounts of money that hit out wallets all at once and would become a financial burden. My cat, Tinkerbell needed treatment by the vet and the cost was incurred by me. Unfortunately, in the past year, her 2 sickness visits did amount to over the $250 deductible. I made a claim on the Vitusvet app and within one week received reimbursement. Thank you Nationwide for being on mine and Tinky's side.
