Easy Peasy
Submitting our claim was simple. I’m very happy with the service we have received & our puppies are only 10 months old, so we have lots of puppy years ahead!

I was disappointed to see the yearly cost go up over $300. this year which I thought was a really big price adjustment.
I have been very happy with Nationwide and their quick turnover with our claims for our Chloe who just turned 3 years old. I wasn't happy to see such a large increase in the cost of over $300 a year. I thought that was a little extreme.

Mixed Reviews for Nationwide Pet Insurance
Filing a claim is easy! However, the caps on common diagnoses (ear infection, kennel cough) mean that I am not reimbursed as much as I am spending. This is spelled out clearly in my policy... I will most likely be switching to Healthy Paws for my 6 year old pup because she keeps getting diagnosed with the same things each year.

Poor customer service
I have 2 golden retrievers and pay good money for the best pet insurance including the wellness plan. In my 7 years with Nationwide I haven't taken advantage of the dental cleaning. I recently took my dogs in for an exam to check out their teeth. 1 dog has 2 chipped teeth and the other is fine and just needs a cleaning. The estimate is between $400-$600 for each dog. I called Nationwide to ask about what is covered and was not helped at all as they won't even look at the estimate. I am not going to pay over $1,000 for 2 dogs to get their teeth clean and/or extracted if i'm not getting reimbursed for at least part of it. Currently looking into other pet ins companies that will provide better customer service and actually respond to emails.
