Easy claim submission, but premiums are too high!

I really like everything about the insurance and how it works, and claim submissions are really easy. The only issue is that the premiums are so high it doesn't make having the insurance worth it. I don't plan on continuing after the first year.

Nationwide makes having pet insurance affordable and very convenient.

I used to have pet insurance through a different provider and a separate wellness plan through my vet and was paying way more for less coverage and a higher deductible. Nationwide is affordable and makes submitting claims extremely easy.

Extremely quick payment. Love it!

I have been wanting to switch my pet insurance for several years but just hated to make a change. Now I'm glad I did. It was easy to sign up and my premiums are cheaper and payroll deducted. Used the insurance on the very first day it became effective with no problem. Insurance sent my check very quickly! So far it's been much better than my old pet insurance company!
