Easy claims process, valuable coverage

We never fear going to the vet knowing we have an insurer that is responsive and the costs are reasonable. We are on our third dog and all have had coverage that has been very helpful alleviating costs for small things like ear infections to big things like pancreatitis. We're please with the service we're received from Nationwide!

Nice to know someone’s there

Shelby recently needed some dental work. I was shocked at how expensive it could be. Thankfully she only needed one baby tooth extracted. Really appreciate how easy it is to fill out a form and have payment go directly to your account.

Amazing claim services and help for my pet

When I have had issues with claims they were very helpful and when my pet got sick and we were concerned for parvo I was happy to have them in my back pocket to make sure I could provide care for my puppy
