Thanks for the email asking me if my dog is feeling better after I sent a claim for her euthanasia!

How heartless are you?? I am waiting for reimbursement of claims in the thousands of dollars for 6 months now after trying to save my dog’s life. I have sent every record from her vet and I get an email after my pup lost her fight last week that says “We hope Molly is feeling better after seeing the vet recently. We're glad we could help out with the cost of the visit! All of us here at Nationwide® are rooting for Molly—because we think every pet deserves the best care possible.” What’s going on there? Are you even bothering to look at my claims that you have not paid since December? It’s June and this is heartbreaking. YOU ARE HEARTLESS

Helping take care of Pepper

Pepper just got her yearly check up and all her shots. She checked out as super healthy and at a good weight. Nationwide helps us keep her that way and we love it.

good experiences so far

claims sent directly from my veterinarian avoids me unnecessary paperwork. Prompt reviews from the insurance company which agreed to cover my older (but healthy) pet.
