Ear cleanings is not a form of grooming!!

I have 2 large breed dogs and ear infections are common. So, to prevent infection or treat infection, regular medicated cleanings are a must. I have been denied coverage for both dogs and am very disappointed. I would highly suggest you rethink your coverage for ear cleaning especially on dogs who are very susceptible of infection. Regular ear cleanings should be a part of the wellness coverage. I have submitted a request for both dogs, that after being denied that my claim go to your review committee. I have yet to ever receive a response. All I have received when I ask for a review, is the same claim results form sent again saying it's not covered. It doesn't even say, "we reviewed your claim again". I just received the same documentation that was originally sent to me. I am a new customer and am very disappointed.

This policy does what it says it will do.

This policy makes affordable health care available for Kara. It covers all the usual such as Rabie shots and wellness to major medical. It also pays major medical and without this insurance Kara would not be able to have the medical attention she needs.

Met my expectations

Nationwide is the 3rd pet insurance plan I have tried. I have two dogs insured and have had to submit claims for both dogs this year. One dog is under a year. I was very nervous as I had nothing but disappointment and issues with the other plans. Nationwide has been a breath of fresh air. They have been honest with information, responsive, and have paid the claims per the plans agreement. Customer service has been outstanding. I have no complaints and hope it sustains.
