Very thankful for all your help!

Have had several pet insurances before; but with Nationwide both HersheyKiss and Padawon have been cared for with our Vet without worrying about the expenses. I know at least 80% or more will be reimbursed.

Overall, very pleased with Nationwide.

Apart from having to send a claim in 3 times to be reimbursed. I am very pleased with Nationwide's coverage and they send you your check in a timely manner.

Fabulous and Friendly

We began using Nationwide Pet Insurance when we got our first puppy Irish Wolfhound named Groot! We have been so impressed with Nationwide and their pet insurance and it has saved us quite a bit of financial strain when dealing with health issues. We will continue to utilize their insurance for our current and any new pets and I cannot recommend and thank them enough for working with us!

Long waiting period for reimbursement

I recently got this pet insurance with the wellness plan added for my dog, and I am surprised at how long it takes to get a reimbursement check or anything notifying me that the claim is in progress. Is there any way I can know that a claim is pending? Or do I just have to guess? Of course the first year having a dog is the busiest because we've been going to numerous appointments every month. I think uploaded 4 claims and only got 1 check back. Please let me know if there is any way of me finding out if they are pending? Through the app?

Excellent

Nationwide has made my life stress and worry free during the 1st year of my puppy. After having to put down my last dog because I couldn’t afford emergency surgery, I knew I needed insurance. My new puppy has had the worst of luck making her first year difficult (and expensive) but because of her insurance I knew that she would be able to get the care she needed when she needed it. I always recommend nationwide to any pet owner I run into!
