Glad we have Nationwide

Have had major medical for twelve years with my mixed breed dog. I am impressed with the technology updates for filing claims. Sometimes I wish the payout was greater for various procedures, but overall his coverage has been very good.

A little confusing for first time

I initiated the claim online and got a confirmation email saying the info was received, however after not getting any update or status update on my account page I called in and was told I had to submit it again.

I greatly appreciate everything Nationwide has done to help me and Coco trhrough her recent illnesses!

Coco's annual well dog checkup revealed she had a thyroid issue and the vet started her treatment. She then acquired a skin condition and had to be treated. That was cleared up with twice weekly anti-bacteria shampoo baths. She then acquired an ear infection and is now recovering from it thanks to once daily ear wash and ear drops. Through it all Nationwide has responded to each charge from the vet with their promised 90% return. I have recommended Nationwide Pet Insurance to most of my friends that have pets.
