Eh not surprised

Eh, you get what you pay for. $45 a month for major medical. I knew signing up they had limits per procedure but different areas like CA have higher prices compared to other areas like the Midwest. If you're doing research on pet insurance I'd suggest other companies. Just some references, emergency vet bill 3.5k, paid out 1.1k, MRI 2.9k paid out $300, neuro 6.8k paid out 1.9k. They do pay out fully on prescriptions and wellness care but for emergencies, the policy limits are very low.

high cost

Each year, the insurance rate increases substantially to the point where I may not be able to afford it. I know I do not get as much back in reimbursement as the insurance cost me, but I am seriously considering just putting the payments into a savings account so if she does need more expensive procedures, I will have the money to pay it. I pay insurance for myself, which does not increase with my age as hers does, so would like to continue to insure my pet, but am not sure I can afford that.

Get Pet Insurance!

I have enjoyed Nationwide Pet insurance for 6+ years. I had both pets covered. Samson passed away September 2021. I still have coverage on King-Bailey. I love how simple it is to get refunded for prescription. No paperwork involved. I pick up King's meds from Walmart and the claim is automatically processed and the reimbursement is sent to my bank. There is a 24/7 number to call and an emergency hospital to take your pet in case of emergencies. Nationwide covered all of Samson's burial expenses. If you love your pets, get medical insurance for them. Be ready financially for their emergencies. #Loveurpetenoughtocoverthem

Nationwide helps! Carl is the best!

I spoke to a representative named Carl. He was friendly and was empathic about my issue as well as one's pet being a family member. He made clear that Nationwide is an insurance company who cares. There was a misanalysis on my claim and was not paid initially, and Carl went above and beyond to correct the process accordingly. Thank you, Carl! Companies need people like you who listens and sort through details instead of immediately turning down customers without investigating the issue.
