Taking care of Ellis.

Recently Ellis became very lethargic and after a visit to the vet it was determined he had a UTI. He is now recovered and doing well. I submitted the claim to Nationwide for review. The claim was paid in good time and electronically deposited to my account.

Worth It

I got a purebred Spaniel last year and she was the runt of the litter. The breeder wasn’t sure that she was going to make it and almost gave up on her. I took the pup in and love her to death even though she does have a lot of health problems. I couldn’t do it without the assistance of Nationwide!

Speedy claim process, clear communication

From my dog's consult and surgery to receiving the first communication on the status of our claim, working with Nationwide was fairly seamless. Definitely was good to have clearly stated EOBs and communication during a particularly stressful time.

Glad I have insurance

My dog, Hershey, needed emergent care for a serious condition. The treatment was very expensive. I would have paid for it anyway, but to have pet insurance through Nationwide has been a relief in this difficult time.
