Helpful but took some time

i had a substantial claim to file after major illness, and after 3-4 weeks I received a notice that there would be no reimbursement. I called Nationwide and a very helpful representative explained that was a mistake. The claim was reviewed and after 2 weeks a sizable reimbursement was issued. Most importantly, my dog received the care she required.

Beyond Expectations!

I'm simply amazed at the ease of submitting a claim and the quickness the claims I have filed have been processed. The yearly rate sounds high at first, but it's so well worth it as I'm sure I'll save at least that much in services to my kitten. Thank you so much!

Mostly SO HAPPY with this pet insurance!

So happy with this company! They make it easy to file claims and get paid. Premiums don't go way up due to large claims (my dog has had 2 knee operations). My one and only complaint is the "pre-existing conditions" clause. My dog had an allergic dermatitus on his stomach that was very localized and specific, but now ANYTHING that has to do with lumps, bumps, infections, cuts, etc does not get paid, which is frustrating when it has nothing to do with that particular issue.

Great customer service. Great coverage.

I am glad I got insurance for my pug. Unfortunately, we got a good use of it. Customer service is great and so is coverage.
