One of the best plans around!

Unfortunately, my one pup has had some serious health issues this year. Nationwide has been fantastic in covering all of the testing, medications, and treatments! I have had this insurance for both of my dogs for the past two years and plan on keeping it for many, many more !

Prompt Reimbursement

My boxer had a corneal ulcer that took multiple trips to the vets for treatment. I sent Nationwide all my receipts and they promptly reimbursed me for all costs (I have the ultimate plan for my dog). Thank you, Nationwide. Pet insurance is a must have!!

Excellent Overall Service

I gave you guys an 8 rating. I did this because of the time it takes for you to process claims. I have had Nationwide Pet Insurance for my dog for most of his life. Thanks to you and the insurance I have, I get a feeling that my vet bills aren't outrageously expensive. Sometimes, however I just wish the review of claims and the process would be faster from submittal to payment. Anyway, I'm glad I have insurance on my dog and glad that I have Nationwide.
