Nationwide Pet insurance has very helpful service in providing the funding to make vet visits doable.

I've found after using Nationwide Pet Insurance for quite a few years now, they are very fair and up front on what they're going to cover. This is very helpful when having to bring my dog to the vet, and knowing where I stand as to what's coming out of my pocket.

Used to be quicker at paying out claims

I'm glad we have Nationwide for both of our dogs. I like that it covers everything from vaccines to flea/tick and heartworm meds to major illnesses. However, it was so much nicer when you used to pay claims in 5-10 business days when we first signed up. Now we're lucky if it's paid out on the 30th day.

Nationwide Pet Insurance has been a godsend, enabling our dog to have the best veterinary care.

Chloe has had problems with her digestive system. Most of her stools have been loose to very loose. Lately they have improved but we never know how to treat it. Dr. Fitzerald's Veterinary office has been helpful but it's a constant battle to get a normal stool. She also has a love her very much! She will be nine years old on 1/20/2019. Thank you for your input. Liz & Larry Schick
