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.
