Nationwide | Pet Insurance Review

The WORST pet insurance! My King Charles Spaniel was in terrible pain with no known cause. My vet suggested taking him to an emergency vet for a work-up to determine what was wrong. The suspicion was a herniated disk in his neck because every time he moved he screamed in pain. It was the hardest thing to watch. An MRI was done along with multiple tests to better understand how to handle his pain and treat him. Of the $6,750+ bill Nationwide paid $165 and claimed the rest of his care for a congenital issue. The majority of the expense was for the MRI to discover what was wrong. Why have insurance if you can't have diagnostic work covered to understand how to treat your animal? It is ridiculous and predatory. Nationwide takes your money and covers very little. They also make it VERY hard to have your case reviewed and reconsidered. I absolutely would NEVER recommend them.

Massive cancellations leaving their long term loyal insureds with senior pets with no coverage for their pre-existing conditions. I’ve been paying $214 a month. Our fur babies are our children and you’re treating them like they’re disposable. Absolutely disgusting! I went with you thinking you were a larger well known carrier with good financial backing and you’d be here For the long haul. You just sent cancellation. Nationwide is NOT on your side and is a joke!

This company is going to knowingly kill tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of animals. Their current policy change will tear families apart and cause people to have to rehome their pet or put them down because they can't afford emergency surgery. Absolutely disgusting.

Their pet policy premiums I have gotten so expensive. I’ve had some almost double year over year.

I decided to get pet insurance after experiencing high vet bills when my oldest cat had kidney failure. Since getting this policy, Nationwide has rejected every single one of my claims because a vet 5 years ago added a visit note that my cat's nose was wet. Even when I escalated this issue, noting that my cat had never had asthma attacks before this year, Nationwide rejected my claims. Now, I've spent $286 paying for a policy and $800 paying for vet visits, lung x-rays, and medication. I do not recommend this insurance unless your pet has literally never seen a vet.
