Very happy
I am very happy with my insurance with Nationwide; my claim filings and reimbursements have been terrific. My contacts with customer service always good as well. My only concern is the cost as my pup ages. I have been told that the insurance rates can rise considerably as your dog ages. Is this something I should be concerned about with Nationwide?

Nationwide made a traumatic experience tremendously less stressful
My dog (or should I say my baby) was brought into an Emergency Room while I was out of town. That alone cost me > $500 for testing and exam fees. Hoping that the ER visit was the end of it, it turned out that Asher had some foreign objects stuck in his stomach and small intestine. The likelihood of them passing on their own was minimizing as the days passed. 1 more emergency visit, 3-5 tests later, we rushed Asher into same day surgery to get the foreign objects removed (quoted at 3k to 7k) for the procedure, hospitalization and medicine. I graduated college in June of 2018 and have just gotten my finances grounded with a full time job. Thankfully my company offers Nationwide pet insurance as an optional benefit and I opted in as soon as I joined. If it weren't for the reassurance that Nationwide would have me covered, I would have lost everything I have saved since I graduated. Thanks to Nationwide for helping me focus on my pup and not have to think of money as a driving factor. Because of them, Asher is doing better than ever before.
