Nationwide | Pet Insurance Review

This was the first time my claim was processed to quickly.

I love that the plan pays for preventative care.

I took out the Nationwide pet insurance because it was a program thru my employer and I had a cat in the past, that after multiple sickness visits, cost my family large amounts of money that hit out wallets all at once and would become a financial burden. My cat, Tinkerbell needed treatment by the vet and the cost was incurred by me. Unfortunately, in the past year, her 2 sickness visits did amount to over the $250 deductible. I made a claim on the Vitusvet app and within one week received reimbursement. Thank you Nationwide for being on mine and Tinky's side.

I have had other pet health and/or accident insurance policies before, but the Nationwide pet insurance coverage is SO MUCH BETTER. My employer offered it as an optional coverage that I could sign up for and pay for through a payroll deduction, which was great, but I didn't have especially high expectations based upon past experience with another pet health insurer. I had adopted two beautiful siamese mix rescue kittens, and just before her first birthday, my eldest kitten attempted to jump up onto a railing (a pet sitter had recently moved a box near the railing she had been sitting on, but I removed it, thinking it was dangerous for her) in my second story loft, and my sweet angel fell onto a granite breakfast bar below, immediately breaking her ankle! The horror! I rushed her to an outstanding nearby emergency vet hospital and fortunately the break was right along a growth plate, but she was in a rigid splint for a while, with "cast" changes about every 10 days, then a soft cast. She healed perfectly and is back to her very athletic (though not so daredevil) and playful self, and I can't believe how easy the claim process was with Nationwide, and how quickly they reimbursed me. They really care about pets, and it's a pleasure to do business with them. Thank you, Nationwide!

Really wish claims could be processed faster. I understand you have to confirm visits and the validity of a claim but the quicker, the better. I do, however, love how you can submit claims online to speed things up. Also, my monthly premiums have gone up SUBSTANTIALLY since I started with you all. It used to be around $50/mo and now it’s upwards of $79-ish/mo. Is it because I file too many claims? I am very loyal to your company and recommend you to EVERYONE I know who gets a new pet. My sister in law, Ashley Lewis of Lake Tahoe, CA put my info down as a reference/recommendation and I never received the amazon gift card.
