Great peace of mind and more!!!
Best investment for peace of mind. I would have given 10 but took a point off as the increase in premiums this year seemed steep for a generally healthy puppy. There should be discounts for WWII vets etc. The folks are all wonderful to deal with and the claims are filed and reimbursed expediently. We have the full wellness premium plan so that may make a difference

Incredible service and fast turn-around for payment. Love the direct pay system in place now!!
Nationwide provided excellent wrap around service for our dog. The turn around from claim submission to payout was quick and smooth. Particularly loving the direct payout system into a bank account of your choice.

Nationwide is a life saver!!
I belong to a couple of BMD groups and always share how great our experience has been with Nationwide! I was referred by a friend and got it for both my boys as puppies. Little did I know one would develop allergies and the other hip displasia! Everything has been covered 90%! I wish my health coverage was as good! The peace of mind knowing I can provide the very best care for my furbabies - that s Nationwide! We highly recommend it to all our friends.

Nationwide covers almost everything & they care about my dog
I purchased major med & wellness coverage for my GSD puppy within a few months of bringing him home. After paying the deductible, the coverage has been excellent for his routine visits, meds, and a few minor injuries & illnesses. Claims are paid quickly and I love the electronic filing & payment options. We had one issue with a denial, but after I requested a review, the denial was reversed and the claim was paid. I haven’t used the online vet help service, but it’s mice to know it is available. I appreciate the emails providing me claims status info and periodically checking in on my dog.
Following the great experience with my puppy, I decided to enroll my other two dogs who are “seniors” (10 years old). Because of their age, there were some additional coverage limits due to pre-existing conditions. I’m not sure I’ll see the same value of the insurance for them so it remains to be seen if I’ll continue their policies.
Overall, my experience with Nationwide has been very positive.
