Jasper's Claim

Overall, I was satisfied with the claims process. One major exception. Initially, I was not given the options of sending the itemized bills by FAX or mail. I took pictures of the bills and sent them by email as attachments only to be told that the copies were not legible. Had I been able to print those itemized bills and send them by FAX as I then did, my claim would have been processed in a more timely manner.

Well worthwhile to have this coverage

Nationwide pet insurance has been very worthwhile for Bailey, it covers major medical and shots/annual treatments. I highly recommend you get and keep your pet insured.

Great Improvement in Service

We've had Pet Insurance on our canine family member since she came to us more than 4 years ago. Nationwide's customer service has improved a lot since we began as customers. The claims process is much easier using the app and paying claims has gotten so much quicker. If payment was made within 30 days when we started, it was a surprise. Our last claim took about 10 days until payment was received. The one issue surrounds using a third party, Chase, to facilitate payments. Including that company adds a couple of days to the process.

Great Support

I am very grateful for Nationwide. They have been there for me as support for all my animals. I recently lost one of my dogs and they helped me up to his transition. I highly recommend this insurance. They will work with you. My other dog needed surgery and I didn't have the money up front and they paid the provider directly, otherwise my dog would have died. I truly appreciate Nationwide.
