Extremely quick payment. Love it!
I have been wanting to switch my pet insurance for several years but just hated to make a change. Now I'm glad I did. It was easy to sign up and my premiums are cheaper and payroll deducted. Used the insurance on the very first day it became effective with no problem. Insurance sent my check very quickly! So far it's been much better than my old pet insurance company!

Excellent and affordable couldn’t be slightly easier to follow up
Nationwide as been affordable, fair and quick to pay. The app used to submit claims is simple and easy. I’ve found it difficult to find out how to reach someone with questions and to dispute a claim. All in all very happy

Good in theory
In theory the Major Medical plan would be good. But in reality they look for any loose association of conditions to preexisting ones and stretch it so they don’t pay the claim. Just be sure to get insurance from day 1 to avoid any preexisting conditions

glad i have pet insurance
I think pet insurance is a great thing. Nationwide does a good job. I question the amount reimbursed for allergy drug and how much I am reimbursed a year. I tried to cut back on the amount given to her (every other day vs every day) to try and reduce the cost, and she just ended up back at the vet, costing even more money. I wish they would look at case by case basis on what is needed more specifically for certain circumnutates. Thanks!
