Nationwide | Pet Insurance Review

My two cardigan corgis got poisoned and developed pancreatitis, intractable nausea, vomiting and bloody diarrhea. They wanted to put them down initially and after 24hr reevaluation. They stayed in ICU care about 6 days with multiple iv fluids, medicines and eventually they pulled through. The final bill was between 10-11 thousand dollars for both dogs. We got about 3500 dollars back. For poisoning which is the main reason for which they went, they only covered 100 dollars out of 5000. That was appalling and ridiculous. We've been with this insurance since they were born (initially VPI pet insurance and now Nationwide), paying high premium for both and we've usually just take them twice a year to the vet for check ups, vaccines and dental hygiene. We pay out of pocket for all heart meds and flea control. I don't know why they cover so little for something so frequently encountered in the pet population. I personally wouldn't recommend the insurance. if we save all the money payed to the insurance company, we would have been able to pay the whole disease process.

I have noticed a marked change for the worst in policy coverage, the amount of information required, and the process for filing a claim.

Moose is a puppy. Just turned a year old. He has a sensitive stomach as most puppies do and most is related to eating things he shouldn't eat. Gastroenteritis is now listed as a pre-existing condition for him. This is ridiculous and we are now looking for alternative coverage

So far so good. I understand the processing claims time. I wish wait could be shorter. I do like emailing the claim form in.

It took forever from you guys to send the check for Kronos. I don’t even know why you ask the medical records from 2017
