Not a fan

I initially signed up for nationwide 3 days after adopting a shelter dog. After his 1st meal at my house he had diarrhea. The next day it was gone. Shelters records made no mention of any diarrhea. His diarrhea was gone the next day, therefore I chalked it off to change in diet from food at the shelter. WELL, nationwide wanted to exclude any gastric issues from his policy for 1 day of diarrhea. They said at 6 months I could submit a YEAR'S worth of medical records to get the exclusion removed. Obviously no one had a years worth of records on this shelter dog. On top of the exclusion, there's no decrease in price despite covering less. I felt nationwide was just a complete rip off and canceled the policy.
