Nationwide Pet Insurance has Been an Eye Saver...Literally!!

Louis the French Bulldog just celebrated his first birthday, and we are thrilled to say he has his sight in both eyes, big ears to hear, and a heart of gold to show for his first twelve months of life. About six months ago, we weren't sure he would make it to his first birthday with both eyes intact. He suffered from an idiopathic mineral deposition in one of his eyes. The infiltrate was so bad, and causing such severe ulceration, that we had to opt for a radical keratectomy to save his eye and his sight. (I've read that other dogs with similar conditions weren't so fortunate and opted to remove the eye instead). Because of Nationwide I didn't think twice about his care and had the added the peace of mind that Nationwide was there for this worried dog mom. Because of the help from Nationwide, we have been able to provide Louis with the best care possible to save his sight and ensure that he gets to celebrate many more birthdays with us. No matter what Louis faces in his little dog life, I know that Nationwide is there to help. I cannot speak highly enough of my experiences with Nationwide Pet Insurance. Submitting claims is a simple and easy process, they're processed in a timely fashion, and we get back to playing fetch and snuggling with our pup without skipping a beat. I tell everyone I know about Nationwide Pet Insurance and encouragement any pet owner to consider it and purchase a plan if they haven't already. Thank you Nationwide!

Great coverage & absolutely worth it

We have a pure-bred Bernese Mountain Dog puppy. We had no idea how sensitive of a stomach he would have! All of his medications have been trial & error and figuring out what is best for the pup. Having Nationwide "on our side" & able to help alleviate some of the costs to figure this out has been worth every penny since we got him. I will never hesitate calling the vet/taking him because of the cost to do so - if something really needs a vet's attention, he can get it & be taken care of.

Prompt Processing of Claims

I was very pleased with the timely processing of our claims for Harley. I was disappointed at the $650 maximum coverage for his illness when our bill was $1700.
