Awesome pet insurance and customer service
This pet insurance is a life saver. The payments are minimal, but the return is huge when you need them the most. Their claim process is easy to figure out and the communication is great!

Some slight kinks in sharing all the records, but after that it was smooth sailing...
Let's admit that those of us who have dogs are generally freaks for our companions. They're not just family members; they are likely the one relationship we're in which gives us genuinely unconditional love. Not your wife or husband, not your kids. Sure they love us, but there's always good days/bad days. With dogs, it's consistently the best day possible when we come home. Smiles, wagging tails and PURE excitement to see us.
What's the point? It's that when something happens to them, it's genuinely scary and frequently heartbreaking. To top this off, it's generally always an expensive outlay since we have to pay everything up front. And anything medical, whether human or animal, costs a lot.
So, once everything hopefully works out with your emergency or simple check-up, it's a relief to get a relatively quick reimbursement. The process, at least for me, wasn't filled with stalling on the insurance company's part with continued requests for more/additional info.
Most importantly, my best friend (Huckleberry) is doing 1000 times better from that terrible day. The plus was that Nationwide essentially made me whole (less the deductible and few non-covered items). No one loves paying for insurance when all is fine. But, it's not just nice to know it's there if you ever need it, it's essential. I hope none of you ever "need" it, but I can tell you that from my POV, this company stepped up and relieved this concern for me.
