Get Pet Insurance!

I have enjoyed Nationwide Pet insurance for 6+ years. I had both pets covered. Samson passed away September 2021. I still have coverage on King-Bailey. I love how simple it is to get refunded for prescription. No paperwork involved. I pick up King's meds from Walmart and the claim is automatically processed and the reimbursement is sent to my bank. There is a 24/7 number to call and an emergency hospital to take your pet in case of emergencies. Nationwide covered all of Samson's burial expenses. If you love your pets, get medical insurance for them. Be ready financially for their emergencies. #Loveurpetenoughtocoverthem

POSTED: | BY: Peggy Dinslage

Paid over $140/month for 15 years

Dog in great shape, blood work great just can't see or hear. Wanted to give her at least her site. Rat Terriers can live to 22 years. Didn't cover meds, cataract surgery (was eligible) but won't confirm they would pay the bill, $2500/eye. Couldn't risk paying out of pocket. don't know if I would use them again.

Nationwide has been great insurance but but the price keeps going up. With 3 dogs getting older it is getting expensive.

Dental Procedure Costs

My dog had dental X-Rays in January 2023. Ended up having 2 additional teeth removed (my dog never had a set of X-Rays taken and due 1 tooth falling out unexpectedly my vet recommended the X-Rays). I feel that ALL PET OWNERS SHOULD HAVE PET INSURANCE. Yes it is 1 more bill to pay each month; however, if your pet needs a surgery/procedure done that is costly, the pet insurance will help big time! The dental procedure for my dog without insurance to help me out would have been a little over $1,300.00 out of my own pocket! Who has money like that just sitting around??? With Nationwide Insurance, I pay my monthly premium (premium amount depends on the dog age and general health), after the $250 deductible is paid, Nationwide Pet will pay 90% of the claim and the owner only pays 10% of the claim. With my pet insurance through Nationwide Pet, I was able to afford to have my dog have dental X-Rays, plus have 2 bad teeth pulled out.
