The service was fine but I wanted to see the numbers in WRITING. I couldn't get the "get a quote" link to work and even messaged their IT about it but never heard back. Ultimately, I did it through the phone but once I received the email back with the coverages (they wouldn't send an email prior to my acceptance and credit card showing these numbers) I realized the deductible was NOT the $250 deductible provided through my employer but the standard $500. Nationwide was only financially good for us if we had the $250. Now I'm jumping through hoops to fix it but I guess I'm going to be SOL. The coverage works fine I'm sure but now I'm paying too much for something I didn't want. I do NOT recommend calling to get a quote.

Very easy to apply

Very easy to apply. I changed to another company and have been overcharged for my insurance and wanted to come back because I like the benefits you provide for my pet.

Professional and personable experience

The agent Jon was extremely helpful. Jon was professional and personable and patient, he provided multiple options for the new pet I was adding to our policies. My only negative is I would have liked to modify the deductable on existing policies but unfortunately have to wait until renewal.

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.
