I already had one dog insured with you and got a second, which I wound up insuring with AKC. Their insurance is worthless.

It was easy to get covered once I connected with the right agent. When I started this process 2+ weeks ago the agent I spoke with was not helpful at all with regard to telling me where to find information. The agent I spoke with today made the process easy.

Nationwide Pet Insurance is a WASTE of…

Nationwide Pet Insurance is a WASTE of money. They don't cover anything you need, after you submit a claim, even if it falls under your plan they don't cover it. The list of exclusions for things they do cover is enormous, you may as well be throwing money down the drain. Multiple times I have gone to the vet, expecting that the plan I'M PAYING FOR will cover me for at least something and when I submit a claim, $0 back. What's the point of insurance then? 2 years back I decided I wanted to add Wellness coverage, they told me they added it and I guess never did, because when I went back to the vet for a wellness check, they told me that wasn't in my plan. Awful business model, horrible customer service and the product they sell is basically a scam. You may as well be paying out of pocket for the "coverage" you get.
