Thank you! No is a rescue with many issues. This is the only way I can afford to help him.
No is a rescue who was abused. Wirth this insurance I can afford to do what’s right medically for him. Thanks

Best Service
There are too many uncertainties in life, your pet having great vet care you can afford shouldn't be one of them.

Great coverage - Nationwide takes fantastic care of my dogs
I've had Nationwide for a few years now. When my boxer-beagle tore his ACL around the age of two, and I didn't have insurance it was kind of a blinding flash of the obvious ("I should have bought insurance"). So I got it for Marty (obviously the ACL is an exclusion), then our next dog Reagan, who was one at the time, and finally our third dog Maggie who came along last year.
Almost everything is covered, which has been very helpful for Marty, who had surgery for a cancerous tumor, and some issues with reflux (yes, dogs get reflux). Reagan has had some more minor issues that have always been covered. Maggie is just coming out of her puppy stage where she'll be allowed to get the better plan that the other two have, but their plan for her in her first year was adequate as well.
If I could change one thing, it would be that my vet would accept the insurance, and then bill me for anything that isn't covered. As it is, you have to download a form, fill it out, and send it in with your receipts. I do all this by scanning and the downloaded form is a PDF. I then email a combined PDF and usually in a few weeks I get a notification that a payment is available from Chase.
I'm very happy with Nationwide, and I'll keep all three dogs on it for the rest of their lives.

Proper vet care without financial worries.
Athena had become a very picky eater and also developed an issue with intermittent loose stool. She has also lost weight. We took her to our vet who was concerned that something more serious than just being picky was occurring. Our vet wanted to do a number of tests to rule out hereditary issues as well as any tumors. I trust our vet very much and wanted to do what was best for Athena. I knew that these tests would likely be expensive but I did not worry because I knew Athena had great insurance that has not let us down. We did the tests and luckily found nothing serious. Turns out Athena likely has a food allergy. We are testing with other foods and she is very happy and on her way to be 100% healthy.
