Thankful for the coverage Nationwide offers to help keep my fur baby healthy!

Having pet insurance has been such a huge help, financially, for us. Especially within the first 6 months of our puppy's life. Those vaccines and wellness checks add up quickly. So having Nationwide cover a lot of those expenses has offered a big relief. The only thing I wish was an option is a puppy specific coverage plan. The first year of life for a puppy brings a lot more vet visits and medication (vaccines), so I capped out on my insurance coverage within 3 visits, and even then had to pay a lot out of pocket to cover the remaining expenses. I am grateful that in the years to come, as these vet visits and annual vaccines lessen, my puppy will still have coverage. It brings a peace of mind knowing that I have help financially in case anything major were to happen, also. And I will say this - Nationwide offers the cheapest premium with the best/most coverage available in comparison to other companies.

Nationwide Insurance Is The Best; always there for you and your pet.

Bob & I cannot say enough good things about Nationwide Insurance. You have been there for all of our pets and for us. When our dog, Winston, had cancer a few years ago, you made it possible for him to have chemo therapy and live a few more months in comfort. Just recently our dog, Shakespeare, was dying and once again, with your help, we could keep him comfortable until the end. Our puppy, Barclay, had liver problems and we were able to have the best of care because of Nationwide Insurance. We tell everyone to purchase Nationwide Insurance when they get a pet.

Nationwide is the best!

I've had Nationwide since they took over for VPI. Nationwide has a very comprehensive plan. Claims are paid very quickly. Customer service, when needed, has been excellent.

Gives you ease of mind

I have had the Nationwide pet insurance for over a year, and can confirm they make it very easy to use and submit claims, and definitely worth the cost to maintain insurance. You have peace of mind for your pets health. I did a lot of research before choosing a provider, and I think I made the best choice!
