Very pleased with the insurance wish we had it with our last dog. So far, everything you claim to be ihas been true.

Rex is doing well after his last exam in September. Just knowing that the insurance coverage is there if we need it is a relief.

Great service

I only have one complaint: it takes too long to receive my reimbursement from Nationwide. I filed a claim and it took several weeks to receive my funds. Prior to that, I was checking on the status of the claim in my account online and couldn't even see that it had been received and was being processed until about two weeks prior to being reimbursed. If claims could be processed more quickly, along with the proper information notifying me that a review is under way in a timely manner, and receipt of funds is expedited, I would be giving you all a ten out of ten!
