Thank you for saving our best friend

Our boy Kennedy recently became very sick with pneumonia and secondary gastrointestinal issues. After two days of inpatient care, we were told he would need to be placed on ICU at a pet hospital if we were serious about saving him. The costs of the ICU would have been financially devastating, but we knew we had to help our little man recover and we knew Nationwide Pet Insurance had our back. Thank you for allowing us to make the decision to get the care Kennedy needed, instead of the difficult choice so many pet owners have to make. We can’t recommend Nationwide enough!

Old Claim Neglected

A claim from the date 12/11/2018 (for Bonnie, C-2258255) required follow-up documentation from our vet, which has long since been supplied (at least once for sure, perhaps twice) but the claim has not been revisited based on that information. It currently is listed as 'settled.'
