Pleasantly surprised at the ease of filing my first claim and pleased at the outcome.

My pet fell ill and he required an emergency visit, and two follow up visits to the vet. These things add up and before I knew it, the bills were in the thousands. I have never filed a claim with Nationwide and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to do it Their website was very friendly, easy to understand and navigate. They updated you on the status of the claims and they were resolved in no time. I am definitely happy with Nationwide!

So happy!

Getting Nationwide pet insurance for my new puppy was the best decision I've made. From reviewing my coverage options with a real (& compassionate) team member to submitting claims, it's been a great experience! So happy I purchased this plan! :)
