The quick turn a round time was great for claim and using the app was helpful as well.

We are very happy with Nationwide

I am very happy with Nationwide. From the first phone call getting insurance for Willow to the claim process, we can’t be any happier.

Horrendous

I have spoken to three different representatives in the last three weeks. All giving me different answers and zero help. I have submitted everything the vet has in their system on my puppy and I haven't even been able to get my January 4th, 2020 claim approved. I keep getting hassled to provide records from January 2018 and my puppy was not alive as he is currently 9 months old. What is the point of having the best insurance plan if working with Nationwide has been so horrible and time consuming. Will I ever see a claim refund? Everything I have submitted is listed under my policy as being covered. Most likely canceling my plan.

Coverage is great, but if you use the plan they increase your premiums accordingly.

I have no issue with the company itself, customer service, ease of filing a claim, but what I do have an issue with is, I used this plan a lot last year, what did YOU do on my renewal, put my premium up $50/month. When I questioned this, I was told everyone's price went up, that is untrue, I know people that have the same plan as me, but they do not use it as often and their premium did not go up. I will be checking into filing a complaint, but giving you a heads up. This year I have used the plan even more, so I expect on my renewal, you will increase my premium again, if you do, I will know for sure it is because I have been using the plan. For this reason alone, I would not recommend anyone purchase coverage thru YOU.
