Very easy system

Nationwide have been great with all communications with them. We get emails from them explaining everything and the compensation process is easy enough. What i would say is that you need to consider if you need insurance for older dogs (over 8/9) as they dont cover as much and it becomes less cost effective (we found this recently with our poor old dog who recently passed away). For younger dogs, they do help out with the costs and it is more cost effective.

Great insurance, slow reimbursement

I think Nationwide pet insurance is amazing. It's super easy to submit a claim and I never feel like I am being duped and taken advantage of. I always understand my reimbursement amount. However, I think the amount of time taken to process a claim and receive reimbursement is far too long. The last time I submitted, it took about a month to receive. Luckily, this was a small bill, but in the future it may be larger and have more of an impact on my finances. I would like to see this amount of time shortened. Otherwise, Nationwide is great!
