Nationwide - smartest decision I made

We lost our last wolfhound to cancer and did not have insurance. Our costs for exploratory surgery and consults were over $3,500. Not to mention the anxiety of having to come up with the cash. When we got another wolfhound I was determined to get insurance and chose Nationwide's full plan. Our pup was 8 weeks old when we got her and being a larger breed the premium is more per month but we already knew that costs can get out of hand with a wolfie. She needed surgery to correct a leg injury she sustained. Valgus deformity as a result of the damage to the growth plate. Surgery was $3500 to fix the leg up and plus the cost of several follow up visits with x rays. I think it was over $4500, Nationwide covered everything they promised - 90 percent of all vet bills above the deductible. My girlfriend says getting nationwide is one of the smartest things I did.

I couldn't be happier with another pet insurance! NOT EVEN IF IT WAS FREE! The coverage is superb, the customer service is amazing - it's not a bank breaker! I definitely recommend this insurance company!

Recently Confirmed Why I Chose Nationwide

At first I was not sure how the experience was going to go. We had some pre-existing conditions on our puppy's policy and a few claim issues where I was frustrated, but recently they have worked with us and been responsive and proved why I decided to go with them in the first place. Excellent service, and I am very happy with the way they have handled our policy.
