Excellent customer service

I considered not taking out pet insurance when I recently adopted a healthy 11-month old dog. I am thrilled I changed my mind because six weeks after I adopted him, he ended up in the hospital being evaluated for a possible obstruction. Luckily he did not need surgery. But having this insurance meant I did not have to also worry about the costs.

Very Good Company

Very good company. Our Iggy broke a leg in a car accident, they took care of it, then he broke the other leg jumping off the couch. Now the plates the surgeons put in need to come out. It is a long process, taking out a couple screws at a time. Plus he developed infection in on the leg bones. Nationwide has handled it all very well so far. I would recommend them to any pet owner that values their pet.

Good

Bear tore a toenail off . I brought him to the vet for the excessive licking. He got an antibiotic shot and the bandaged his foot for a week so it could heal. I was so glad I had insurance for times such as these.
