Submitting the review was easy. Just took pictures of the receipts with my phone and sent them in. About a week later, the claim was fulfilled.

Great Vet; great insurance! Assurance that I can do what's best for my dog

My vet was very responsive to my concerns, and provided valuable advice which I have followed, to the benefit of my Lady.

Claim payments

The claims process is not a problem, but the length of time to review and pay on a claim is much too long. We were told when we signed up that claim payment was within 2 weeks of the claim. It usually takes a month - sometimes more- to get payment. This issue is what prevents us from recommending Nationwide to other pet owners.

Wouldn't be without it.

It just gives us peace-of-mind knowing that our pet is covered for almost any emergency. Fast and accurate response to our claim is another thing we can count on. Keep up the good work!
