Nationwide provides excellent pet insurance and customer service.

For the past 15 years, I have insured my giant breed dogs with Nationwide Pet Insurance. The special needs of giant breeds makes insuring them a smart choice. It offers peace of mind to address those breed specific health issues, and eases treatment restriction concerns to provide the best possible care. Nationwide offers a range of coverage options, and the cost is worth every penny. Their customer service is always helpful and courteous along with on line explanation of paid benefits. Filing a claim is simple, and their payment turnaround time is fast. I recommend to any pet owner.

The need for always supplying medical records for a PUPPY seems unnecessry and delays claims too long.....

Better than "People" Insurance!

Filing claims is so simple! I fax and forget. The explanation of benefits is simple to read and payments are quick. The few times I've had to call customer service have been very good. Friendly, patient representatives who never talk down, they just explain and answer all questions.

Major Medical

Scamp's policy was recently renewed and I read through the exclusions and was really surprised at how much is not covered. It has made me think that maybe having the highest coverage that you offer is worth it. On average I spend $200+ on insurance a month for 2 dogs and I spend over $100 a month on their food that is Veterinary recommended and $200+ every six months on medicine. I am going to review it closer when I have time. On the whole I have been very pleased with some of my claims and not so much with others.

They seem to understand

Our most recent trip to the vet with our Sobie was traumatizing -- for both of us. However, Nationwide helped address Sobie's overall needs, because adequate support through our insurance for our pet is critically helpful.
