Nationwide pet insurance has been a lifesaver.
My purebred Samoyed, Gibson, just turned four, and I've had Nationwide pet insurance since the day I adopted him. The main impetus for getting insurance (I've got the major medical plan) was that I never wanted to find myself in a position where I couldn't do something for my dog because I couldn't foot the bill.
To say the least, Nationwide's pet insurance has been a pretty amazing safety net over the last four years, and if I'm being perfectly honest, I feel like they've paid me more than I've paid them. I recently submitted a claim for oral surgery that set me back $797, and within two weeks $740 was deposited into my bank account. In fact, I can't remember a claim (and I've probably submitted 12-15 total) that took longer than three weeks to resolve, and I've never had to follow up with additional information from my vet. If I'm remembering correctly, the only part of a claim that's ever been denied was a powder Gibson took for a few days to discourage vomiting. The powder wasn't regulated by the FDA, which is why it wasn't covered under my plan, and it set me back a grand total of $40.
In an ideal world, my dog would never have an expensive medical procedure. Since we exist in the real world where bad things happen on occasion, I can say with zero hesitation that Nationwide has made my life with Gibson a lot less stressful. It has been worth the investment and then some, and the peace of mind I have because of Nationwide's support is basically invaluable. I highly recommended their services to anyone who asks.
