A must

May be costly at times but worth it! Unfortunately have needed quite a few unplanned vet visits for my fur baby and was covered thanks to my insurance policy.

Overall a good experience dealing with your business

I have had problems understanding delays in payments and need for more information. But this was mostly my fault. When I reach a person to talk to, they are VERY HELPFUL! It’s just hard as you get older to understand electronics communications. Thanks for your patience.

Straight forward claim process — payout amounts are varied

All in all an okay company. Customer service was positively responsive and my claims were processed on an average of 10 business days. Payouts for treatments covered varied though and was left paying a hefty portion out of pocket for some emergency treatments. A trip to the emergency vet last month cost $2200 and we received half of that back. Not sure if this is standard but deafly was a hit

I wish you did human medical insurance!

If every company worked in the way that Nationwide did, the world would be a place of peace and harmony. I have four pets and in the two years we have been with nationwide I have never had anything but a 5* experience. I recommend you to everyone - even people without pets!

We needed to go to vet twice because Augusto cut his leg and had an issue with his anal gland and things were solved with very good and kind vets!
