best decision

we have 2 puppy pugs and 3 cats. after pet ownership of many years and many vet bills throughout the lives of prior pets, with the addition of the “puglets”, we decided to ensure all of them. we purchased preventative and sick coverage for dogs and just sick coverage for the cats. at this point, the financial benefits for the dogs coverage is no question..well worth it this year. foe the cats, with just sick coverage, it has been well worth for piece of mind. we are no longer scared to go to vet (for at least financial reasons)

Nationwide is the worst lying ist insurer

We bought Nationwide insurance on our 2 Pug Brothers at 5 months old. 2 & 1/2 years later we called ( a 35 min call) about palate surgery we were told they’d probably cover a part of surgery partial diagnosis, and meds. Our Vets helped bill Nationwide with diagnosis they’d pay for. THEY COVERED NOTHING. AFTER WELL OVER 2&1/2 years of premiums with not one claim waiting until we needed help with surgery? Nationwide? THEY PAID NOTHING. NOT A PENNY. 35 minute cal? ALL LIES. THEY COVERED NOTHING. SADLY OUR VETs DIDN'T TELL US NATIONWIDE NEVER PAYS CLAIMS FOR 98% of they’re bills. We learned 2 & 1/2 years of policies on 2 dogs? NATIONWIDE PAYS NOTHING.
