With Nation Wide I never feel alone in paying the costs.

I am happy I came across Nation Wide through Petco where I shop for my puppy. I feel less stressed for doctor visit costs. Thank you Nation Wide!

Decent

All has been pretty good over the years even though we had one claim that was not paid even after previous claims for the same problem had be paid. That didn’t seem right at all. We are really struggling right now as we just got Lilly’s new premium notice & it skyrocketed in price. We are debating now whether to keep the coverage or not.

Does what pet insurance is supposed to do

Have filed many claims for my canine non-human companion. Nationwide has always come thru without question. Timely payments and customer service has been helpful with any inquiry. I am not being compensated for this review.

Nationwide is really "on your side"

I've had pet insurance for many years for all my past dogs when they were known as VPI. My Harry T was 7 when I got him and developed several "old dog issues" in his golden years. Upon his passing in 2005, VPI reimbursed very well on that last week he was in doggie hospital, reimbursed the unused premium and then did something that still leaves me in awe; they sent me a sympathy card indicating a donation being made in Harry's name to one of their local animal shelters.
