Buying pet insurance was the best investment we can make for our pets, Nationwide is the best insurer around.

I have never been more impressed with a pet insurance company. The insurance saved us from possibly having to put our dog to sleep before he was even 2. We wouldn't have been able to afford the surgery he needed and Nationwide was the reason our baby is still with us. The only thing slightly negative thing to say is that it takes much longer than it should for reimbursement.

I was not impressed with the premium increase, since last year.

My last claims were not properly handled. I was never contacted regarding missing information from my claim. I work in the insurance business, and take pride in following up with my policyholders, in cases such as mine. Took almost 2 months to get my claim settled.

takes too long to pay claims

I generally don't have a problem with how much of the claim is paid, but I think its ridiclous that it takes 3-4 weeks to pay them. I have to pay the vet out of my pocket first which is fine. But then to wait that long to be paid back is not. I have large dogs - mastiffs - that is the reason I got insurance on them. Everything that is done to them is expensive.
