Filing claim was easy, and I was impressed with response.

The claim form is simple to complete and the follow up was quick. I am very thankful we have this insurance.

Disappointed

Meaty lost his vision rather quickly and through 2 appointments with our vet and some tests it was not determined what the cause was. We were referred to an opthalmologist for additional tests and evaluations without an answer. The opthalmologist did determine that Meaty's eyes were functioning and the issue must be neurological. After submitting the paper work I was told not much was covered but I could submit doctor SOAP notes. My refund did increase but was still less than expected. One of the reasons being loss of vision not being covered due to old age. I question the value of insurance when it doesn't cover issues in older dogs. I have been paying monthly premiums for almost 7 years in anticipation of needing it later in life.

Claim processing time too long

Take a month to process a claim is too long

Had Nationwide Pet insurance for my Aussie Mix for 14 years and when she passed, I got Nationwide again on my Corgi Mix.

Always pleased with the customer service, ease of making claims, and quick payments.
