Never I would trust Nationwide

I had nationwide since my english bulldog was a puppy. It was doing well until September 2024, when they sent me a letter of reducing the benefits from my policy. Sad enough for me because my boy was 9yrs old that time. I had 90% back and $500 deductible, they reduced to 50% back. It was bad enough because of my dog's age despite of the yearly increase that it came to a point of paying almost $300 per month I got them from my work thru payroll deduction. They do not care on pet's health as they get old, where they were needed most. I called them but they could not give me a good reason, and I only used them when needed or in an emergency situations. I would say " never to believe and trust them, they will leave you when you most need them".

The ease of applying

I was able to add my second dog to the Nationwide pet insurance thru my employer. The premium comes out weekly from my paycheck so that I don't have to worry about forgetting to pay it. My 2 German shepards are covered in case anything happens. Nationwide as a company has been great. Haven't had to use the insurance but I would rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.

My daughter suggested I switch my current policy to Nationwide and glad I did because it provides a wide range of coverage for my 2 young cats. They are 1 year old. The customer service rep was thorough in explaining the policy and patient with my questions.
