Great pet insurance!

I am very pleased with the insurance. Claims are handled quickly and an easy to understand explanation is always given for unpaid claims. I would recommend the insurance to all new pet owners.

Turn around time seems to be taking longer and longer

Process takes to long and monthly payments increase is becoming more significant. I know premium goes up each year due to age but my dogs are only 5 and hike since 1 st year is crazy. Will probably be dropping within next year

Very easy

Filling out a claim was very easy. The only reason I didn't give a 10 was because I had to find a fax machine to submit it.

Thank you, Nationwide, for all of your assistance and support!

I've had Nationwide insurance for Jeffrey, the dog, ever since he joined the family six, almost seven years ago, and I've always been impressed with the representatives' professionalism and speed in processing claims. Jeffrey just had surgery for a torn ACL and meniscus. I called Nationwide a couple of times about coverage, reimbursements, etc. To a one, every Nationwide representative with whom I spoke was kind, helpful, and generous with their time. It's been a stressful time, it's very scary to see my little one in pain, but the Nationwide staff really came through for me and I am very grateful. Thank you.
