Appretiated

Our dog Logan ate something he shouldn't have and we had to take him to the hospital. He ended up staying one night and having an endoscopy procedure to remove the object the next day. It was really costly. We put in our claim and honestly I wasn't expecting to receive as much back, but I was glad we received like around 75% of what we spend which really helped.

Claims need to be follow up many times in most cases

It seem like most of my claims need me to follow up and call someone. I have had your company for many years, it's time consuming to get claims paid. This last claim I was told no invoice yet their was an invoice. Your company is most difficult to work with. The only way my claims get paid is when I go to a supervisor, She always gets it done. The claim in question has not been paid

Great Company and great no hassle claims handling

When you spend a lot for a pet insurance policy, you are always skeptical. I purchased their premium whole pet policy because I have Dachshunds. As I have owned several over the years, they have pretty much predisposed medical issues especially with orthopedics and skin rashes/allergies. One of my dogs in the past had an $8,000 pack surgery. With my new pups I made the decision to insure them. I have had several health and emergency events already at 1 1/2 years of age. To wit, they ate a pound of licorice pastilles. One of them had to have his stomach pumped and another time one of them ate some plastic; another emergency visit! One of them has already had skin issues. They were very expensive especially having to use an emergency clinic after business hours and specialists. I have to say I have never been denied compensation for anything due to what other companies categorize as "preexisting" and you will never get premium increases due to use of policy. There are however incremental policy premium increases for each renewal year but these are normal and customary in the industry but with Nationwide this is the same for everybody. This is the Cadillac. Look no further. My policies have paid for themselves not only in compensation but peace of mind. Thank you Nationwide!
