Good company but slow reimbursement

I appreciate the coverage this company provides but it is expensive and has suddenly become very slow to reimburse. A year or two ago, you could expect to receive a check within two weeks. Now it is more than three weeks - even though it is now an electronic transmission. I used to highly recommend this to my social media friends and family but I hesitate to do so now.

I highly recommend Nationwide to everyone who owns a pet!

Since day one, 10 years plus ago, Nationwide has had fantastic customer service. I never deal with a computer, always a human being. All of your customer service reps are kind, caring and informative. Although my dog’s insurance is expensive this year (as he is older), it has already paid for itself. Unfortunately he’s been ill, howeverive received 90% back on every invoice, no arguments, in a very timely fashion. Thank you. I recommend Nationwide to all my friends and acquaintances! I get thank you’s all the time!

It gives us great peace of mind to know that we will be able to afford to address our Charlie’s medical issues. Especially as he gets older. However there does seem to be a long lag time between claim submission and claim payment.
