Best Insurance Ever!

I think it's great that Nationwide has helped me with my pets. When your pet needs surgery or has an illness, sometimes you just don't have the money to take care of them the way you would. Nationwide really helps with that. I feel more comfortable that I can give my fur babies the best possible care they deserve! I have two dogs. One has allergies and the other got a parasite from drinking water in the park. I'm still waiting for Nationwide to get back with me regarding the parasite, but the allergy was taken care of. It's very comforting to know that others care.

You are the best

My Lab has had a rough go after an insect bite. He has been in a cone for over 2 months to get this spot to heal on his right front paw. We have finally turned the corner. He just wants to play and I want the cone off. Nationwide has been great!

Having this insurance takes away a major stressor when a pet has a strange and chronic immune system illness

I cannot possibly explain how having Nationwide Insurance has saved the life of our 5 yr old Cocker Spaniel. With 3 surgeries since January, we would not been able to finacially handle that and would have had to resort to premature euthanasia to relieve Cassie of her pain. I hate to even have to admit that, but we just don't have that kind of disposable income to handled the expenses. She will be having routine exams while on her extended course of steriods. My recommendation to every pet owner is to have Nationwide Insurance (the comprehensive plan). We never expected that such a young dog would have a serious and likely a lifeling illness that will require more than just yearly visits and preventative meds. It breaks my heart to even imagine that I would not been able to agree to these surgeries without the security of Nationwide. In 30 years of having pets, not one of them had a serious, but manageable disease process like Cassie has. All our other animals lived a great and long life and died peacefully very soon after a diagnosis of cancer. This is our first experience with a pet so young; too young to be assisted to doggy heaven. I already tell all my friends with pets that they NEED to get Nationwide insurance.
