Nationwide was very thorough regarding CLAIM processing. When I call with questions, the representatives are very knowledgable.

They pay for what they say they will pay for no problems, just the claims take too long.

The insurance is great for emergencies, annual check ups, medicine, and they pay for what they say they will pay for. Usually have no issues with that. The claims do take too long to process. Also this is the second year for one of our pets and the monthly payment went up a lot more then expected, as long as next year is normal we will keep the insurance.

The coverage provided by Nationwide for my pet is worth every dime of that premium!

I could not be happier with the coverage and the handling of claims for my poor little Goldie Fawn who needed ACL surgery. We love our pets but sometimes costly care is not feasible. You take that worry away so we can enjoy the short time we get to have them in our lives, which is never long enough.
