No problems ever and verry satisfied

Website is easy to navigate, cost for monthly insurance is very low, annual deductible is fair and reimbursement is timely and easy to apply for.

Quick and easy!

Thanks for making it so easy to submit a claim and get my reimbursement. It means the only thing I have to worry about is taking care of my dog rather than taking care of the paperwork.

BEST PET INSURANCE EVER!

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Nationwide Pet Insurance as the best on the market today! My dogs are covered for illness, injury, and wellness visits, and I get a whopping 90% back on every visit! The only things not covered are food and grooming! The insurance is somewhat pricy (for two Shih Tzus) but, so far, I have gotten a return on my policies and then some for each of the two years I've had it!

Great coverage - process a little slow

Very happy with my coverage. The claim process can be a little slow compared to Trupanion (my other dog's insurer). Usually takes 30-45 days to receive EOB.
