Excellent customer service and medial review and value!

I'm so relieved and always happy to have coverage for my dogs with Nationwide. Each experience with them over the past few years has been standout, from the exceptional and clear and easy to navigate website to their unsurpassed Customer Service. The cost of my policy is well worth it for such comprehensive coverage and reimbursement. I wish my OWN health care were half as good!

Making a claim and getting it approved can be a hassle

Making a claim is a hassle because I can’t do it on my phone or tablet I have to use my computer. I had a claim denied because I was missing a document the representative I spoke to on the phone was very nice and helpful. Next time I had a similar claim I included all the documents but it was denied again. I have not found time to call yet to disputed.

I'm convinced everyone would benefit from carrying coverage for all their pets for the life of the pet.

The only draw back with Nationwide is how long it takes them from date of application to date insured and how long it takes to pay claims. I hear other carriers are much faster at paying claims.

Kittens will be kittens, Best Insurance

Odin is my 7.5 month old Maine coon. And like most kittens they are bound to get into trouble. He had a bout of constipation, so had to make sure no parasites or blockage. Added some probiotics, after determining it was nothing serious. Then, he decided to get stung by wasp that made it's way inside the house. He had a big fat bottom lip. Off to the vet we went. Nothing a little antibiotics (given the location) and some antihistamines couldn't fix.
