Peace of Mind

It’s such a blessing and peace of mind to have pet insurance from Nationwide. To know that if an emergence or illness happens, I’ll be able to pay for it and know I’ll get all or almost all of the cost reimbursed is a blessing. I highly recommend Nationwide Pet Insurance.

Reimbursements

The time it takes to receive the call reimbursements is too long.

Takes a very long time and needs to be followed up on.

It's easy enough to submit a claim, but I've found that they take much more than a month to process the claims. A month after I submitted a claim for a major surgery that my dog needed, they asked for his full medical records. Another month after that I still didn't have the claim resolved and paid. I had to call customer service and complain and it was still weeks after that until it was resolved. The whole time that charge is sitting on my credit card. Looking back I would have considered a pet insurance that pays upfront, much like how it is for people.
