Peace of mind
Peace of mind is the biggest benefit to our family. We never have to worry if we’ll be able to afford something needed for our dogs. I tell everyone about Nationwide! We call it our dogs’ health insurance. :)
We also really like the app for submitting claims now. Very, very convenient!!

Like any insurance company, watch out for what is termed a "pre-existing condition"

Well worth it!
I'm VERY pleased with Nationwide. Not many other pet insurance companies will cover both illness and wellness. I was skeptical at first, but this policy has been extremely well worth it! Very pleased.

My long standing relationship with Nationwide Pet Insurance has been wonderful and will continue into the future.
I have maintained pet insurance on my dogs for over 12 years with Nationwide (previously Veterinary Pet Insurance). My most recent expense claim for my 4 year old dog Sophie was over $6000.00 which was needed for necessary back surgery. The claim processing was seamless and the reimbursement rate of 90% was substantial. For me, pet insurance has proven to be very beneficial on more than one occasion and will be continued as long as I have my furry little family members.
