great insurance

Nationwide is awesome! I had to make multiple claims when my dog was sick and they paid everything after my deductible was met. They completed our claim very fast and was reimbursed within 2 weeks!

Unacceptable premium increases

Premium has increased 49% over two years without any major claims (only neutered and routine vaccination). This degree of increase is preposterous, and really unfair to customers who signed their dog up as a puppy, planning to establish long term coverage with a company (dog will now be subject to waiting periods and exclusions if the policy is switched).

Great value. Keeping my pets healthy thanks to Nationwide

I have five cats and two dogs, six of my seven pets are insured with Nationwide. During the last year or so my cats have had very expensive surgeries, one for a foreign body and one for an Enucleation. There is no way I would’ve been able to treat my cats without insurance. My only complaint would be how long it takes to be reimbursed but that’s not a deal breaker because Nationwide covers the wellness treatments too. I have been recommending this insurance to anybody that asks me for opinions and I will continue on doing so. Thank you Nationwide!

Good service

Petinsurance was the best choice for my little Uli, a super cute Jack Russell Terrier. I have chosen the more complete plan so we can receive 90% back of everything we spent even routine treatment. I just think the amount could be returned faster (usually takes 25-30 days) but it is a good service in general and it was a good choice.

Thank you for helping my cat, Cricket. She had radioactive iodine treatment which completely cured her thyroid issues.

Thank you Nationwide. Cricket is completely cured. I have three pets insured through your company, because you never know what can happen. My first dog, Mulligan, you insured in 2000, when you were VPI.
