Coverage
As a pet owner of 6 dogs, Financially, I appreciate the option of having insurance coverage. However, 30 days for claim processing should be improved.

Healthy pets make happy owners
Nationwide has always been incredible efficient and attentive. Having pet insurance with a senior dog has given me so much peace of mind. I would suggest starting pet insurance on all dogs while they are young so that if anything happens it is not a pre-existing condition. Last year I was told my dog most likely had bone cancer and that there is a 95% mortality rate within a year, but the test to determine the diagnosis and remove the growth on her wrist was almost $4,000. Most people in this situation would have a difficult decision to make between putting the dog down/amputating or spending $4,000 to find out it was “most likely cancer.” Because of having nationwide pet insurance, I was able to have the growth removed on her wrist and it was determined not to be cancerous, despite several vets originally being convinced that it was. I am forever grateful that nationwide made my $4,000 decision only a $400 decision (my copay) and my dog is still living without having to have any amputations and pain free.
In addition, submitting claims are incredibly easy. I have an app on my phone and I am able to submit electronically. The claim is usually paid within 2-3 weeks and I have it set up as being a direct deposit.
