Terrific

Sphinx had his first dental cleaning. Our vet said his teeth are beautiful and perfect. I appreciate the fact that Nationwide provides pet insurance at a reasonable annual cost. Thank you for caring.

Annual Premium Increases

I feel that the premium increases of about $10-20 per year are kind of high for a healthy dog. I am considering moving my insurance elsewhere despite everything to get a lower premium.

Nationwide's coverage has been a 10

I've been with Nationwide for years and I am very pleased with the coverage. Claims are handled in a timely manner and reimbursements have always been paid fairly. I will definitely use Nationwide for our next pet.

Nationwide is The Best

I’ve never had a claim problem with Nationwide. I recommend it every time I go to the vet or have a conversation with friends who have pets. We recently lost our sweet boy to feline leukemia. Every claim I filed was promptly considered and paid if benefits were available. The painful passing of our pet companion, then filing a claim was done with ease. Thank you so much.

too long to get reimbursement

You take way to long to process a claim. Taking 4 weeks to receive your reimbursement on a claim that is direct deposit is ridiculous. It should only take 7 days at the most to process a claim and get your money back. You are consistently this long on every single claim I make. Not sure why it takes so long, but I know other companies that don't take as long. For a claim that is a lot of money, that is too long to get your money back. You need to do better.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.

Coverage

Nationwide offers a variety of plans offering varying levels of coverage. The company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness, offers 90% reimbursement for accident, injury, illness and wellness care, inclusive of exam fees. All Nationwide members have complimentary 24/7 access to vethelpline.

Payout Limits

Depending on the plan selected, there may be annual benefit limits or per incident benefit allowances. There is no annual limit for the company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness.

Age Limits

Exclusions

Pre-existing conditions are not covered on any plans (if a condition is curable, it may be eligible for review if pet remains treatment-free for at least six months). Whole Pet with Wellness covers nearly all veterinary expenses. Notable exclusions include boarding and grooming.
