Nationwide | Pet Insurance Review

My only two issues with the insurance is the length of time it takes to be reimbursed and the fact it doesn’t cover hereditary issues.

As with any insurance, you buy it with the hope that you won't have any reason to use it. Unfortunately, my kitty Mika became very sick, and was eventually diagnosed with a chronic condition. This took tests, x-rays, ultrasounds and eventually a endoscopic biopsy with overnight hospitalization. It was such a comfort to know that I had the insurance, so I could just focus on getting Mika well. Nationwide was very helpful in processing my claim, and gave me significant coverage for all the diagnostic testing and her care. I am happy to say she is a happy, healthy kitty today. She continues to have chronic IBD, and Nationwide helps out each year with the cost of the monitoring related to this condition. They also provided great coverage when she needed an unexpected dental surgery. The few times I've had to call customer service, they've always been friendly and helpful, and seem concerned and caring about my pet. They've been very fair and reasonable with coverage. I have recommended this insurance to many of my friends with pets. My cat is very special to me, and it provides a lot of peace of mind for me to know that I have the insurance if I should ever need it again.

Nationwide has great pet insurance coverage options. As a first time dog owner, I recommend you act early to get coverage. Nationwide is pricey but my little pet is worth the cost and I'm happy I made the commitment. My only issue is processing. The processing time is very slow (more than 30-days for a claim payment), the website is not really user friendly and you really have to 'figure out the details' in order to get direct deposit for refunds. Over all Nationwide rates a high 8 in my books! Pet Insurance Review is right on regarding the claims processing. If you pick the right policy you'll get the right coverage ... do your own research and ask your vet if they have any recommendations for coverage based on your pet's breed. Having coverage provides real peace of mind! Remember, your fur baby is family.

After talking to several other companies when I was initially researching insurance, Nationwide made the most sense. Now that we've had it for a couple of years I can definitively say that it is the best insurance! It's really simple to understand-one deductible, and then they pay 90% of all costs after the deductible has been met each year. It's quick, and painless to submit the claim, and we are always paid promptly. This insurance has made going to the vet stress free! Thank you, Nationwide!

Was very surprised and disappointed at the claim reimbursement for my dog, Hershey. You need to review the amounts WITH A VET. $650 on a $3500 surgery is way wrong. Hospital stays and daily nursing need to be covered with your best medical policies! I have not picked apart what was reimbursed on Mimi’s claim because I no longer trust the company anyway. The below comments relate to Mimi.
