GODSEND

I got Nationwide pet insurance through my work for around $16/paycheck, and it has paid for itself $300+ times over. My dog randomly ruptured a disc in his back due to IVDD (something I’d never heard of), and had to have emergent spinal surgery. His vet bill was over $5,000. Nationwide reimbursed us over $5,000 within a few weeks of me sending in the paperwork. I can’t even express what a blessing pet insurance has been, and nationwide made the traumatizing experience of what happened to my dog and my family so much less stressful knowing we would be reimbursed 90%.

Best pet insurance ever!

Fantastic. I recommend them to anyone I meet who has a dog. Someone was nice enough to tell me about this company and how great they are so I just want to pass it on to others! A real blessing!

Excellent

When I got dog insurence for my rescued dog Heidi, people thought that I have lost my marbles. I had had many dogs before Heidi and that money I have spend on their veterinary care? Let's say, I would have a big house , drove a nicer car and had some retirement savings. No regrets! I would do and pay anything for my dogs. I resently retired and don't make as much money as I used to. Heidi will be probably my last dog in my lifetime, so I really wanted to protect her if she would get sick, but she won't get sick! Right? She is young and super healthy, we watching her like a hawk every day, so why dog insurence? One visit to a dog park!!!! Heidi got attacked and bit by a dog!!!! Our sweet,little, submisive dog got hurt. Our vet took care of her, filled insurence papers and few weeks later we got our reimbursment. I couldn't believe it. It was easy process with Nationwide folks, supporting us with kind words and e-mailing us,asking how Heidi is going. I can enjoy my Heidi even more now, knowing that no matter what, she will be taking care off and I won't be stressed out about veterinary bills anymore. Thank you, Nationwide! Milena Hemsath
