This comprehensive pet insurance is definitely worth having.
I really enjoy the piece of mind knowing that if my pet is sick or injured I will be able to afford his medical care. The only reason I didn't rate it a 10 was because I wish they would pay the veterinarian directly.

Mixed feelings
We signed up our dog Bruno for Nationwide pet insurance through my husband's work, because they offered a discount. We have him insured since early 2016. We did not have to file any claim until last year,when he tore his ACL. Everything went great, they reimbursed me right away, no questions asked. I am actually very happy with their plan and customer service. But here is the kicker. I just got my renewal in the mail and they raised my yearly rate nearly $400.00. I called and tried to get a legit answer, because - let's be honest this is beyond ridiculous, and they tried to tell me that it is just simply insurance cost going up. Well, I am looking for a new insurance now. My rate would be going to $95.00/month. That is not happening.

Buying pet insurance was the best investment we can make for our pets, Nationwide is the best insurer around.
I have never been more impressed with a pet insurance company. The insurance saved us from possibly having to put our dog to sleep before he was even 2. We wouldn't have been able to afford the surgery he needed and Nationwide was the reason our baby is still with us. The only thing slightly negative thing to say is that it takes much longer than it should for reimbursement.

I was not impressed with the premium increase, since last year.
My last claims were not properly handled. I was never contacted regarding missing information from my claim. I work in the insurance business, and take pride in following up with my policyholders, in cases such as mine. Took almost 2 months to get my claim settled.
