Too expensive, but they take care of you

I love the coverage I get and how easy it is to submit a claim and be refunded, but I dont like that my premiums doubled in price this year. I have found somewhere else that will offer the same coverage for half the price and I think I may switch for that reason.

Nationwide is terrible

Not easy to file a claim. Every claim is not picked and you find a way to deny it. I feel like I’m stuck with you now but if I could leave for a different company I would. Awful customer service and you always try to wiggle out of paying claims.

I am the poster child for why you should get pet insurance

We have two Cocker Spaniel/Poodle Mix females. Both have had some health issues and our insurance has come in so handy. Right after Easter this year, our Sadie (2 years old) began to exhibit signs of pain and difficulty walking. After evaluation it was determined that she had a disk herniate (it fully burst actually) and she had lost use and feeling of her hind quarters. Surgery in my eyes was the only option. I immediately called Nationwide and spoke to Jackie (x6480) to fill her in our what was happening and wanted to find out what was covered by our plan. JACKIE WAS AMAZING!!! She told me exactly what i needed to do, she called us to check on Sadie's status and once our final hospital bills were submitted, she filed an exception to have our claims expedited for reimbursement. I am so happy to say that our Sadie is getting stronger every day, she is now walking and running and regaining bathroom function. We would not be happier with her progress. It was so nice to not have have financial reasons impact our decisions on what was best for our girl. I always tell people to get pet insurance, they will not regret it!!
