Nationwide Pet Insurance is the best choice I've made in years.
After a lifetime of pet ownership, it is so nice to be able to give the best care my dog deserves. Claims are easy to submit via app. Claims are processed and paid quickly.

Very reliable
Very reliable and pay out on claims is very good, very easy to submit a claim also. Would be nice if pay on both Flea prevention and Heartgard in same year not just one or the other since this is preventive care. Also some pets are on prescription food would be nice if this was also covered.

comprehensive coverage!
We have had pet insurance for 2+ years now and we think it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made. Up until now, we haven’t had any serious issues but did have to take her in frequently which insurance has helped with. Most recently her Gi problems were becoming an issue one week and had to take her to emergency care multiple times. There’s just a lot of assessments and blood work done which added up. Thankfully we had insurance which helped cover a majority of the costs! It’s been a great investment for our pet.
