Takes a while but the important things are covered

I love using Nationwide Pet insurance because I have had some late night emergency vet experiences that cost an arm and a leg. My 20 lb dog likes to rough house with my 50 lb dog and things can get a little crazy. My little guy had a torn ligament in his shoulder and was limping for months and we decided to do laser therapy, which was covered by insurance and has so far helped immensely. My only complaint is the time it takes to get the insurance check. It takes about 2 months before you get it back.

Incredible insurance!

Wow! Talk about such a seamless process from start to finish, and how easy to use this insurance is! We are loving our coverage and care so far, and have already received our first reimbursement check in the mail from a wellness visit. Would absolutely recommend!

We are so thankful to have Nationwide Pet Insurance!

Our puppy is a rescue who came with many small but persistent health issues. In just the past 6 weeks, he was bitten by another dog, had a stomach issue probably from eating something he shouldn’t have, and was neutered. Those first two incidents had us taking him to an emergency vet ($$$) and Nationwide covered a good portion of the costs. We love our dog and want him to live a happy, healthy life, without making us go bankrupt, and are thankful to have Nationwide Pet Insurance to help!

Very fast claim processing and reasonable premium

I broke the tip of my dog's tail by closing the car door on it. The poor dog ended up having to amputate the end of her tail, wearing the e-collar and all that. The whole thing cost over $1k, so I filed a claim. My claim was processed and I got my check in a week, which is great. My dog is all healed, the tail looks okay, we are just waiting for her fur to grow back.
