I highly recommend Nationwide Pet Insurance!

I visited the Nationwide Pet Insurance website after a friend referred me. The website was super easy to navigate; insurance packages were clearly outlined so you could see what was covered, costs were readily available and signing up for coverage was a BREEZE!

I wouldn’t trust them with anything….

I have held a nationwide pet insurance policy since 2019, all was great until a couple weeks ago. When I had an emergency with my Labrador that unfortunately ended in goodbyes. I had discovered that the policy was canceled due to an expired debit card. I never once received any notification from their billing department via mail, phone or email. We are now stuck paying an insane amount out of pocket. In an attempt to reinsure my remaining pet, I rushed to reapply. To my surprise, Im receiving email and letter notifications with these time sensitive requests. Clearly something has changed on their end. Their previous lack of communication seems intentional. If youre thinking about utilizing Nationwide for anything, DONT. I will not trust them with our business, our policies or our pets ever again.

Nationwide--my go-to for pet protection!

I have insured my pets with Nationwide since I lived in California. In 1991 when I moved to Massachusetts (to marry), I called to insure my next pet, but had to wait until Nationwide became licensed in Massachusetts. They contacted me when licensed and the rest is history! I just enrolled our fourth dog in 33 years! Nationwide is my go-to company to best protect our beloved pets!
