Great Insurance
Nationwide lives up to its claim that "it's on your side." It really was when my dog suffered a ruptured disc and required surgery and a lengthy hospitalization afterward, in addition to physical therapy. My boy is alive today because of this insurance as the cost was much more than I could have afforded without the coverage. I recommend it to all my friends and family who have pets. In fact, I am such a confirmed customer that I have covered my house and car, too.

Good coverage, high premium cost, slow reimbursement process
I appreciate the coverage provided by Nationwide Insurance. My pup has has some health challenges and I'm so happy to have the insurance coverage. That said, the premium is high. Also, when I called to chat about a change at renewal time, the representative was borderline rude. There was no 'pet friendly' conversation and basically the end result was 'you get what you get, here's your option'. I did not get an warm fuzzy but maybe that's the way it's supposed to be OR that person was having a bad day ... in the end I did renew. They were right ... I get what I pay for. Finally, why does it take almost 5 weeks to get a refund? That process timeline is frustrating and confusing. I submit quickly. I submit all my receipts with the required forms ... I pay my premiums on time and still have to wait. Hmmm ... is that was I get too? :-) I would like to say thank you for offering Pet Insurance. I appreciate the opportunity to protect my pet investment.
