There is always a fight to get your money, even with the highest plan that is offered.

Every time I put a claim in through Nationwide, it is always "another 30 day review". It is obvious that they are holding the money reimbursement as long as possible to just keep it invested so the company gets money. It is ridiculous, that even the simplest claim of a flea collar (which my policy strictly states it will cover), there is "additional information needed". I have yet to have a claim where it was super easy and the check came within the 30 days.

Positive experience thus far

I've been happy thus far. This is my first dog insured through you guys. My older three are with another company. I would like to know at what point can I add the major medical on for her?

Insurance Effective date of 5/15/18- unfortunately had an emergency vet visit on 5/18.

My dog's insurance coverage was effective on 5/15/18. Unfortunately on 5/18, she was involved in an altercation with another dog that resulted in a gash under her eye that needed to be stitched immediately - of course after hours. Nationwide paid the claim in about 2 wks - no questions asked. Made me one happy camper!

Excellent service

The rep I spoke with was Diana. I liked her immediately as she was very friendly, courteous, and helpful. I did not have a claim, but was checking on the status of my application for insurance for my pet.

Why go anywhere else?

I have had Nationwide Insurance since Harry was 8 weeks old. He is now 8 years old and still going strong - and as is typical of the Old English Sheepdog breed - still acting like he is 2 years old. What a lovable clown he is! We have not had a year when I did not have to file a claim for services - and each claim has been handled quickly and efficiently. The explanation of benefits is clear and this company really cares about my pet. Why would I go anywhere else?
