No hassle! Nationwide delivers what it promises! It's way better and easier than my own health, dental, and auto insurance!

Their explanation of benefits and reimbursement is delivered as quickly as possible. They give you a simple, easy form and require minimal effort to give you your coverage. I met most of my deductible earlier this year. I took my cat to the emergency room resulting in a misdiagnosis on the weekend and then to a follow-up appointment at my regular vet who provided a proper diagnosis and treatment the following Tuesday. I spent a little over $1,200 and was promptly reimbursed with $1,048.75 cash. I recommend everyone get pet insurance for the peace of mind alone.

Worry free vet visits!

When our puppy had gastrointestinal issues, I didn't think twice about taking him to the vet and running tests. He was diagnosed with a hard-to-diagnose protist infection which was cleared up (messily!) with meds. No worries about costs of the fecal tests, meds and follow-up checks. Nationwide claims came through as fast as the lab diagnosis!
