WOW
I have kept this company's insurance on my dogs for over 15 years. That alone should tell folks something about how well they treat their clients.

Best pet insurance overall
Nationwide has the best overall pet insurance for the money. Easy claim submission and usually receive the reimbursement within a couple of weeks. They even emailed to see how my pup was doing after one of his visits. Just renewed for a second year.

Worth the wait
Have to wait a bit for approval and reimbursement but other than that it’s good

I am so thankful for my Nationwide Pet Insurance
You hope you never need it, and you are wondering if you are getting your money's worth, until something major happens and you are thankful you have it. Even though I was only reimbursed for half of the cost, it was such a relief. My young dog had an undiagnosed illness but I still received full reimbursement up to the policy limits.

Says no to a lot, takes a long time to process, but does reimburse if they accept the claim
I was able to get this insurance through my work after I retired and it is deducted from my pension check, so that is very handy. Many things are not covered, including one injury to my dogs leg when he fell playing, and now they will not pay for any future leg injuries. His auto immune disorder I understand, since he had it before I got insurance. Claims take a long time to process, but they offer a service where you can have it deposited into your bank account rather than wait for a paper check. I think I got this mostly in the hopes I would not need it, since with the premiums and the deductible, it already costs a lot.
