Help with vet costs = better care & better life for my pets

Was happily surprised to get nearly all my vet costs covered for Milton's dental work. He's much happier and with the money saved i'm able to provide him better daily care.

Never fun dealing with Insurance, but...

Pet bills are almost never cheap. My dog was limping and I took him in for exam and x-ray. Between the visit, x-rays, consults, tests, meds, etc., I was looking at a eight hundred and something bill. But submitting the records online was fairly painless (wish submitting via phone app was easier, though!). The bill was reviewed and payment issued within a week or so. Payment was made directly into my bank account (my choice.) Mind you, my records were clear and included the Doctor's report/assesment, etc. But there was no arguing or the game of "we need more information before we can pay this claim..." Very happy overall.

Thanks to Nationwide, all of our dogs are well.

We have 3 dogs insured by Nationwide. We love the service and ease of processing claims. We have been using Nationwide for about 15 years. We always recommend you to friends and anyone with a new pet.

Nationwide: Impressive Pet Insurance

After having 7 dogs in my life, I decided to obtain pet insurance for dog #8. After 3 months of coverage, I am very impressed with Nationwide's customer service and attention to detail. My biggest question is what happens when renewals come due after the first year. Hopefully, it will be minimal, and Nationwide will continue their great service. So many companies reel you in, and then gouge you after that first year. I am hoping Nationwide will be different.
