A bit pricey, long wait for payment but overall a good investment if one has a needy pet.

I'm so happy I have pet insurance. This is my first dog and who knew all the things that can happen and do happen. My put was injured by the groomer and required four stitches and now she's got issues with her anal glands driven by seasonal allergies. The vet is recommending surgery ... ACK! My coverage with Nationwide has been pricey but I'm happy to know I have the added support if needed. I rated an '8' because of price and the time it takes to get payment. By the way, I've called the vet-line only once (my dog got into a Hersey Kiss and their response was go to the emergency vet. I don't know if I would call again because in my mind the delay to get through just took time from me getting my dog to the emergency vet. And, since this is my first dog, I'm not really sure what is or isn't an emergency ... of course, our fur babies just want to please and won't tell us if there is a problem, right?

Very happy

We got insurance for Fowler our 2 year old rotty, less then 3 months later he tore his acl. Nationwide covered all his bills including the vitamins he needs to take for his lifespan minus his deductible. He had surgery in March and is now running around great! Thank you

Peace of mind!

Having head to tail coverage has given me peace of mind! Uthana has been scratching and licking herself and her nose has been running. At her most recent visit, the vet suggested allergy testing and today we got the results!!!! She is allergic to ALL meats...nothing else. Now we have the solution!!! The doctor has prescribed a special food for her and no more problems to worry about! An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Thank you for helping us keep Uthana in top notch help!!!!
