Nationwide | Pet Insurance Review

Nationwide’s service was fast. I submitted my claim and received the reimbursement within a reasonable period of time. Their personnel are very knowledgeable and helpful.

We have had insurance with Nationwide for our two dogs for five years. We pay $30 per month for each dog with a $250 deductible. Our dog recently accidentally ingested grapes and we had to take him to the Animal ER. Because grapes may cause renal failure and he could have died, he was required to stay in the hospital for two days. This included treatment of induced vomiting, an IV, and constant monitoring and blood testing. The total cost was $1400. We put in a claim with Nationwide as this was the reason we got insurance to begin with - to cover these types of incidents. After providing all the medical records and invoices to Nationwide we received $290 for a claim of $1400. It would have been a better use of our money over the last 5 years to start a savings account for our dogs. It is clearly not worth the money to have pet insurance.

Easy to submit forms, no issues with the process. Was reimbursed for the majority of my kitty's tests and hospital stay. Claim process took about 1 month to process. So grateful to Nationwide!!

I have been so pleased with Nationwide's fast and fair responses to claims I've made. You are terrific and I refer friends with pets to you all the time.

Thank you for the contact. I think we finally have this pancreatitis under control with some new food and feeding small amounts 4 times a day. We believe this whole thing started out from a very stressful boarding situation, where all my dogs had to be boarded for 9 days while we went out of town. Clay had a terrible time of it.. 5 days after I picked him up he got the pancreatitis all from stress we believe, he also had a possible blockage from eating a plastic dog house in a kennel run at the boarding facility. Chicken and rice diet lasted 12 days along with Antibiotics for the pancreatitis. And he also had huge a head wound on the top of his head that he got by trying to dig out of a box stall converted into a kennel run. This caused a bacterial infection at the same time as the pancreatitis issues. I finally had to go to a 2nd vet to get them to test for yeast and bacteria because it wasn't healing, and they finally prescribed the Antibiotics for these wounds, which have now healed over completely. So other than losing some weight, he is on the mend ! Thank you again for checking in. ( I cannot attach a picture in this email or I would ) Glad I had insurance for these issues which all started in November.
