pet insurance coverage for rescue dogs

I recently adopted my first rescue dog. And, as with all my previous dogs I have always purchased pet insurance for them. I was concerned that I might be denied because of the dog's age, 8.5 years old. I didn't get the exact coverage that I wanted, because of her age, but I did get coverage for all accidents and injuries, wellness prescriptions, dental, and some non-preexisting conditions.

Don't waste your money

Don't waste your money. I bought Nationwide Pet Insurance for my dog 3 yrs ago simply to give some peace of mind if there was an illness/injury that was very expensive. The website is deceptive unless you want to read the many pages of fine print while trying to predict which condition your pet will someday have. When my dog needed an expensive procedure, Nationwide said there is a $485 limit on the said procedure. The entirety of the expenses (multiple visits, re-checks, meds, etc.) was in the $4000-$5000 range. And you only paid 10%. THIS IS NOT INSURANCE - IT IS A SCAM!
