so glad I have had your insurance for several years!

MY dog Missy was born with a growth on her belly . We have been watching it for several years and not seen changes. This year it seemed larger (and ugly). We took her to the vet for a shot and had them check the growth. They aspirated it and found results that indicated possible cancer. She had surgery the next day. The specimen was sent for a biopsy...no cancer! The insurance paid for the whole bill except for the deductible. I'm relieved to know I will have financial help when unexpected problems arise. The claim was handled within a couple of weeks.

Best pet insurance ever!

Easy to use, highly recommend it. The thing I would say needs improvement is the time it takes to process claims, takes 30 days and then some to finally get your reimbursement deposited. Other than that they're a great company and provide great service!

Very Poor reimbursement

I find the reimbursement process takes extremely long, several times after 40 days I have to email customer service and ask them to process my claim for just routine check ups. I have other friends that use different companies and reimbursement doesnt take this long. Most likely will not renew next year.

Great insurance!

I am so glad I have nationwide. Customer service is great and always helpful. Only complaint I have is that reimbursement for reoccurring claims takes a long time. My dog Is on prescription dog food and it takes about 6 weeks to get reimbursed. Other than that I am beyond happy with nationwide. I have referred them to many close friends and family!

So thankful to have pet insurance

I don’t know what we would do without our pet insurance. It’s always such a reflow if or when something happens. We don’t have to think about, “How will we afford this?” And that feeling is priceless.
