I am pleased with coverage .
I have always used Nationwide for my dogs. I don’t recall the monthly cost to go up $30.00 in one month ever! She is only 8 and in pretty good shape besides the torn ACL! An agent said it had something to go with the state of Connecticut? That’s strange! It’s hard for a Senior to rescue animals as it cost too much! Very sad! Thank you. I trust in Nationwide even though the premiums are getting too high.

Nationwide Cares
I've had mainly positive experiences with Nationwide Pet Insurance.It would be easier if vets worked with insurance companies upfront (before billing the customer), but I can say that from a "caring" perspective, Lu (my dog) seems to be cared about more than a human. With constant check ins, 24/7 helpline --- I feel like Lu receives better care/concern than I do from my own insurance company and doctors.

My favorite pet insurance... but now monthly payment jumped to an additional $20 per month and we have to say Good Bye
I have loved being part of this insurance group for my dog, Earl. All has been great. But now we jumped to almost $80 per month on my last renewal and that is out of my budget. I shopped around and found the same policy (apples to apples) and have to leave Nationwide. It was a great five years but time to go... good luck! I hope I receive the same excellent service from my new insurance carrier.
