Vets charge to much and nationwide rebuses to little

I think what you reimburse is horrible. It is a fraction of what the vet charges..

Overall I am extremely happy with Nationwide pet insurance

With the exception of the coverage for my dogs Hyperparathyroid being ridiculously low (full reimbursement of less than 800 for a 4000 surgery 2 years in a row) I have no complaints with Nationwide. I have been with them for the last 9 years and always receive reimbursement within 30 days and customer service is awesome! I have looked at competitors and while they are all relatively competitive I prefer the lower annual cost to other companies that have a higher annual cost with a reimbursement cap. I have both my dogs on Nationwide and I know my 10+ year old Ridgeback would not be with me still if I would not have had coverage. Helps get you through illness or injury if you know you can do the best for your fur-baby.

Fast, Easy Claim Process

Nationwide has been an absolute LIFE SAVER when our Bernese Mountain Dog puppy unexpectedly swallowed a sock and ended up needing emergency surgery. Nationwide reimbursed us over $4,000. The claim process was fast and easy, and the money was direct deposited into our checking account within 30 days. We have had an amazing experience with Nationwide and would recommend them to anyone! You never know when something can go very wrong, and it's nice to know we're protected financially if and when that happens.
