I love Nationwide!!

Easy to use online claims . receive Direct deposits on claims. I have nationwide for 4 years and never had an issue with any of my dogs claims. The only drawback is it does take about 30 days to get your money from Nationwide, wish this process was quicker.

Nationwide insurance eases the pain of expensive vet bills.

Nationwide insurance has given us peace of mind , knowing our beloved family member has such wonderful coverage and the best vet. We’re getting another puppy soon and will get this coverage ,too.

Planning to switch insurances

The insurance sold is misleading. On the webpage where you buy the insurance, it describes a bunch of things that it covers, but there is a lot of small print and they don't end up covering a wide percentage of the total bill. For example, it said it would cover vaccines, but then it only covered the first $25 of vaccines that my pet got in a year. I am waiting to get out of this plan so I can switch to another company.

This is a great insurance policy and company

I have had this insurance policy for my dog since he was a puppy and it has come through for me every single time. The claims department is efficient and fair. Most of us issues are “routine” but every now and then something comes up and I have never had a problem presenting a claim and having it handled in a timely manner. That’s what you buy insurance for, the claims department. The coverage is excellent and I think the premium is reasonable

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.
