Not sure it’s cost effective

Unfortunately, this coverage doesn’t cover much of anything for which my dog needs medical attention. Spent over $3500 at vet last year, almost $700 in insurance premiums, and got barely $400 covered.

Thank God I have Nation Wide Insurance

I used to say pet insurance is a waste of money, I now thank God I signed up for your insurance. I found out small dogs have more problems than large ones. Lucy is finally doing better and to know I don't have that big vetinary bill to pay is a blessing for me. I have encouraged everyone I know to call Nation Wide and sign up. Pet insurance is not a waste of money.

Ok coverage, slow reimbursements

Website is really easy to use, coverage is pretty good. My rates just went up $30/month because my dog is 9. Also, reimbursements take almost 30 days to get.

I’m glad we have this insurance.

I’m so glad I purchased this insurance for our puppy when we got him. It has paid for itself. Recently the cat knocked our other dogs medicine off the counter and the puppy ate it all! Our vet bill would have been well over $1000 but fortunately our insurance paid most of the bill. The app makes submitting claims a breeze.

Fantastic Pet Insurance

I LOVE Nationwide Pet insurance...We own three labradors currently, and have had labs all our adult lives. I have ALWAYS had Nationwide (and VPI before Nationwide bought the company). I recommend you to all our friends who ask. You are excellent in every way. Quick turn around of benefit checks too. Thank you for allowing me to take such excellent medical care of all our dogs. We helped 2 who had cancer...these expensive treatments would not have been possible without the great coverage. THANK YOU....
