Nationwide | Pet Insurance Review

Friendly service and claim processed quickly

Investing in Nationwide has been an absolute savior for my pet and I and has given me peace of mind. After only about a month of having coverage, my cat fractured his hip. We waited a little while in hopes that strict rest would heal the small fracture. In the end it didn't and he had to have surgery that was over $2,000...on top of all the other expenses that came with it. I would not have been able to give him the care he needed if it weren't for Nationwide. I use the app on my phone to upload my claims and the process is relatively quick, it is an absolute breeze and totally worth the money. This is my first time having insurance for a pet and i will no longer go without it in the future! Thank you, Nationwide!!

I opened this policy through my employer when we first got for our dog when we adopted her from a rescue shelter. It was later moved to Nationwide. Until recently, our dog has been “rock solid” and we’ve only used the policy for annual checkups, shots, teeth cleaning and monthly heart worm and flea/tick medication. Those claims were paid almost immediately. Over the past couple of months, we’ve been treating a persistent, mysterious infection on our pup’s tail and have made 4 trips to the vet. It took 2-3 weeks to have our claims paid. Note: Our vet files the claims for us. We also had a late-night trip to the local emergency vet because of persistent vomiting and dehydration from ingesting Mupirocin ointment after she unwrapped her tail bandage. Vomit with specks if blood in it is scary, especially when the dog has only vomited once in the previous 6 years. I haven’t filed this claim yet as I’m waiting to see if I’ll have any other prescriptions for Cocoa which have to come from a regular pharmacy. I’ve signed up to have our claim payments wire transferred directly into our account. Nationwide uses Chase Bank for this process. I find having to log into Chase and “accept” the payment a pain in the neck. Other than that, I’m satisfied with our coverage through Nationwide.

Having used VPI insurance years ago I had less than great hopes for WellCare service coverage. To date I have received payments for each claim and I’ve been happy with the benefits. I combined WellCare with full care coverage for my pet.
