My baby wouldn't be alive today if I didn't have this insurance!

In today's economy, every penny has to go so much further than it did before. I struggled with adding monthly insurance premiums for my furbaby to my budget but am I glad I did. As a result of having this insurance, I was able to give my baby the life saving treatment he needed and wasn't faced with the heart wrenching reality of having to put my pet down because I couldn't afford treatment. Thank you for saving my baby for a longer lifetime of love and happiness!

Nationwide Pet Insurance is OUTSTANDING!

This was the second claim we filed for our Lab through Nationwide, and both times they were processed and paid very quickly, and communication from Nationwide throughout the process was excellent. I will always recommend Nationwide Pet Insurance, and glad our dog is covered by them!

I love having piece of mind

I love having piece of mind when it comes to my dog’s health care. It is wonderful to take him to the vet for care and know that I will receive any money i have spent back. I never have to worry about whether i have the money to take him to the vet for care. Because it is almost always a covered expense. It has been my best investment, beside my wonderful dog Theo!

Great in theory, difficult and timely in practice.

The process and formality of pre existing conditions is arbitrary and subjective from the start. My dog was treated for POSSIBLE UTI when we first got her. She was not tested or diagnosed, but this caused her to have a generic pre existing condition that is determined to be valid at any possible time whether even if our veterinarian directly contradicts the insurance company. Then disputing the claim falls on deaf ears too. On claims that are covered, the insurance works as it should but it does take nearly 30 days every time before you get reimbursed.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.

Coverage

The company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness, offers 90% reimbursement for accident, injury, illness and wellness care, inclusive of exam fees.
