Great and fast service!

I am very happy with Nationwide. I was initially upset about the increase in premium, but I really can’t complain. They process claims and administer refunds quickly. Bruiser suddenly tore his ACL and will require surgery. They have paid for their share all of the diagnostics without issue and I am confident that his surgery will be handled the same way.

Thanks for helping

Nationwide processes my claims efficiently and communicates clearly whenever a submission problem arises. They are always helpful when I call with a policy or coverage question.

Good medical claim coverage including routine checkups, medication, and emergency.

Nationwide pet insurance provides complete coverage including routine checkups, medication, and emergency coverage. Claims staff are thorough when processing your claims. When claims require additional explanation or documentation, claims are reviewed timely. Processing would be even better if the claims staff either reviews the history of the client before completing or have a way to make specific needs or exceptions to normal claims processing available to future claims so client doesn't have to repetitively provide information or copies of paperwork already provided.

Best Insurance Ever!

I think it's great that Nationwide has helped me with my pets. When your pet needs surgery or has an illness, sometimes you just don't have the money to take care of them the way you would. Nationwide really helps with that. I feel more comfortable that I can give my fur babies the best possible care they deserve! I have two dogs. One has allergies and the other got a parasite from drinking water in the park. I'm still waiting for Nationwide to get back with me regarding the parasite, but the allergy was taken care of. It's very comforting to know that others care.
