Nationwide | Pet Insurance Review

I picked my healthy year and half old Standard Poodle up from daycare and he seemed a little off. I thought he was just tired from a busy day. Shortly after getting home, he vomited and was off balance. By the time I got him to the Emergency Vet, he was leaking urine. It turns out he somehow ingested marijuana, most likely something he pulled in through the chainlink fence in the play yard. He stayed at the vet overnight and was given fluids, oral activated charcoal, and an intravenous lipid infusion to counterract the drug. He was back to normal the next day. Nationwide paid 90% of the claim. This is my second year with Whole Pet with Wellness coverage for him and I have not had one problem with the claims process. I recently brought home a standard poodle puppy and have her covered with Nationwide as well. The Whole Pet with Wellness is no longer available for dogs under one year old but I plan on upgrading her policy at renewal time.

Nationwide has processed Abby’s claims in a timely manner and I like the fact that the funds are sent to me electronically. No more depositing checks.

Insurance was better than I ever hoped! Claim filing was very easy. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Claim review took 22 days (website said up to 30 days), and reimbursement was a day after the review was complete. M&M had GDV, which is an extreme emergency and required immediate surgery. She did wonderfully, and the $4,000 emergency surgery cost me very little. My deductible, the 10% copay, and taxes (not covered) were my out of pocket expenses. Best insurance experience ever. I emailed my HR department and thanked them for making this benefit available to us.

Diesel was initially told he didn't need surgery on his eye; However, he is still having issues and seeing the doctor this afternoon so I am hoping that the initial diagnosis of Allergies causing his eye issues is still the cause and can give him either something like Benedryl or another med to help him. His left eye is constantly tearing, he is always squinting, and there is always wetness around his left eye. We'll find out today if there is something more effective today. Thank you for asking Deborah

when your pet is sick the last thing you want to worry about is paying the vet bills. pet insurance gives us peace of mind.
