Getting started

New puppy, and new insurance for her - including wellness benefit. First vet appointment went well. She is healthy - just some parasites from her mother. Nationwide took almost one month to process our first claim - I had my last dog insured through Nationwide when it was VPI for 11 years, and my claims were processed quickly and thoroughly. I hope that this can improve in the future.

Worked as advertised

The payout for this one claim more than paid for the year's premiums. A good investment that I would urge pet owners to make.

Received about half the costs of my dog’s surgery costs reimbursed.

Because my dog was diagnosed with cataracts after age seven, we were able to claim the maximum amount that Nationwide provided. Her surgery was double the amount of the reimbursement, but it was definitely better than nothing. I’m glad we have pet insurance.
