Poor Claims Processing
Claims processing should be 10 days or less. Nationwide stretches the promptness of its payment processing.

Rate your pet insurance company
I have been very happy with your insurance. I have had it for seven years now. I found out the hard way with our last Schnauzer. We had to put her down at three years old. her illnesses were quite costly. Having insurance for Katy has been wonderful. My only gripe is that it seems to take a long time to get payments for claims. I know you have a disclaimer stating that it may take up to 30 days for payments but it seems to take a long time to get paid even if it's just for one prescription. That has been my only "complaint".

My teeny baby was throwing up
My 1.8 pound chihuahua was throwing up and drooling excessively. Due to having insurance I didn’t not even think about the cost or how much what test would cost. I know the Nationwide would reimburse me and help me keep my baby healthy.

Good coverage and easy claims
The plan we have is great coverage for a decent price (we’re willing to spend the little extra per month than we already spend to have peace of mind). Claims are easy to make through the app. I do wish they would combine the website and app with other Nationwide sites so you don’t have to go through multiple sites to view all of your insurance products. Sometimes claims can take a while (4-6 weeks) to be settled.
