Payment turn over

Nationwide is the best thing I ever did for my dog. I could never have afforded the care he needed in his first year and a half so the outcome would have been heartbreaking. My only complaint is the time it takes to get reimbursed, especially for simple office visits with vaccines. I can understand that a more involved procedure would require more time to review but the routine charges could be processed much quicker. That is my only complaint and again, i’m So glad I made the decision to go with Nationwide! I recommend Nationwide to every dog owner I know!

I had trouble in the beginning with Claims and getting to understand what is needed for the claims

I have enjoyed the services that go along with the policy! I have struggled to get down the detailed information needed for a claim. I would recommend the insurance to others.

You have Abby covered.

I purchased Nationwide when I rescued Abby at 3 months. She is 19 months now and I have had no difficulty at all with submitting Abby’s claims. All claims have been processed in a timely manner. Thumbs up to Nationwide.

Excellent cost-effective care for our beloved pets

I have chosen the most complete coverage that includes reimbursement with medicine expenses for example and I am very satisfied. The payment is made in average one month after the submission of the claim form. It was definitely a good choice.
