Glad I have this insurance coverage

this is my first time having insurance coverage for Leah. In the past I've not had good experiences because the reimbursement were little to none and I felt that I was paying out money for nothing. Aside from the $250 deductible, the coverage and reimbursement has been GREAT!

Great Insurance

Just submitted our first claim and it was super easy! Love that we get so much money back for the visits we take our dog to. The overall price is a bit expensive, but when you use the insurance it certainly appears worth it!

Well worth it

We have insurance on both our beagles... their noses get them into trouble. Nationwide is quick, easy and we have had ZERO issues with filing a claim or being reimbursed! Can not believe we did not do this sooner.

A little help for the Rescue Fur-Parents

This has been a great company to deal with and you can telll they are fur-kid friendly. STOP and look no further!!!! I work in the insurance business (so I get it) BUT if I could wave my magic wand, I will wish for this: I had 3 other kids with NPI (Baylee, Willow and Shiloh). They are all rescue kids and I got the polices for them at the same time. We were not looking, but we saw this little blind girl that no one wanted. She was blind since birth, not loved, in a cage and no forever home. We decided to take her. We signed up for NPI right way but 14 days is a long time to wait until she would be covered and that was just not in our time frame...we had to get her out of that cage. I wish that in ‘some’ instances, we can forgo the waiting period, when a life hangs in the balance and a possibility of bringing something home to your other kids. I never submitted this claim because it was 3 days before her policy took effect.

Thank goodness I had coverage!

I never expected my sweet girl to have a problem with her pregnancy. But she did. Having her insured gave me the chance to take her to a reproductive specialist where she received the best of care despite losing a minimum of 2 puppies. The care she received enabled her to deliver a healthy puppy via C-section. As I watch my girl stretched out on the couch beside me and think of what could have happened had she not had such wonderful coverage I get a lump in my throat. The kindness and support received from the customer care team at Nationwide is some of the best to be found. If you are considering health coverage for your 4-legged family member, I highly recommend Nationwide. Don’t wait. I’m so thankful that I didn’t.
