Nationwide REALLY is on MY Side

I am absolutely amazed and impressed with the pet policies through Nationwide!!! I have three dogs, all covered by Nationwide. The company is wonderful. My dog, Thor was recently diagnosed with cancer (he is only 5). Nationwide has given me the ability to make life altering decisions for Thor!! He is pain free and has quality of life. Thank you, Nationwide. Having a pet with cancer has been less traumatic knowing you have my back!!

I’m very pleased with the coverage and service.

I’m very pleased with the coverage. It has already saved me hundreds of dollars and I’ve only been a client for seven months. I highly recommend this program.
