Nationwide | Pet Insurance Review

Well, we got our Dane a nationwide policy that was amazing and got it when he was a puppy just in case. It saved his life when he got some mystery issue where he stopped eating and wouldn’t gain weight for 8 months. We got him healthy and on a prescription food that has made all the difference. He turned 4 and Nationwide cancelled us. I know it was a very good plan and we had been told they wouldn’t be offering it in the future so not to cancel it because it was so good, but we thought as long as we didn’t cancel- we’d have it for the duration of his life. Nope! Gone. His food is $160/ 25-pound bag and he can’t do without out. We’d already seen a price increase over time but we’re willing to pay that for the great coverage. I called to find out what alternative policy I could get only to find out it was not even close to what we had. I was unable to get much in the way of details when I talked to someone there, but told we could cancel at any time. I decided to enroll so I could get the details since they wanted to withhold so much info. It took way longer than expected to be approved. We were treated like we were new members- everything was pre-existing and all of his minor issues were exaggerated to prevent coverage. After readying the policy, I realized it doesn’t cover the ACL or basically any knee issues. Our previous one requires 6 mo of having the policy before covering this but this one doesn’t cover it. Anyways..,basically it’s a terrible plan comparable to all of the other companies I researched when he was a puppy and determined to be completely useless. I think Nationwide could have maybe put limits on how many bags they would cover of Rx food, raised policy prices again or something but to completely get rid of so many benefits proves they don’t care about customer loyalty or pets in general. I used to tell so many people to get Nationwide if they were interested in pet insurance, but will now be telling everyone what a joke it has become. Will be canceling our policy immediately!

Everything went smoothly. She was very informative and helpful

The representative was attentive and very informative

Christy was great. She answered all the questions I had and gave me quotes that matched the web site. I had Trupanion previously and was very pleased with the policy, but wanted to try Nationwide since the quote was cheaper and covered a few more things.

amazing customer service very detailed very kind.
