Quick, Easy & Dependable

I have been very happy with Nationwide! Our pup has been to the vet many times in our short year having him and the claims have been turned around quickly! The text message service has made it simple and FAST! We know he is in good hands and that we can get him checked out without worrying we can't afford the trip.

Relatively easy process but reimbursement takes a long time

Overall pretty happy with everything. Don't love that wellness visits are counted towards your deductable before reimbursement. If you only get necessary vaccines and the animal doesnt get sick or hurt you end up paying more for the added premium than what the vaccines cost themselves so it's a little double whammy. Also it always takes the maximum 1 month to process the claims. When I was with Pets Best they processed and paid out within 48 hours. Made a big difference I'd cash flow was low.

Nationwide has been outstanding!

McFly has been suffering with ear infections and eye conjunctivitis. He seems to be much better and I don’t know what I would have done without Nationwide. We are keeping an eye on his ears and eyes and hoping there are no further problems. Thank you Nationwide!

Thank you

Good service, I just wish the process was shorter instead of three weeks every time. Once review is complete the payment is issued quickly. It would be nice to talk to whoever reviews it.
