Leaving Nationwide after 20 years. Found a much better plan for my older dog and puppy

I have been with Nationwide Pet Insurance almost 20 years. I was happy for the most part with their coverage and customer searches and ease of submitting claims. This year there were a lot of changes to the plans I already had for one of my dogs. I have been regularly unable to get into the website for to file claim and update my address for a few weeks now. I was pleased and surprised to find another pet insurance company with better coverage than Nationwide for a lot less. Highly recommend Pumpkin Pet Insurance and their customizable plans. Unlimited cap with 80% reimbursement and $250 deductible for up to $60 less a month for my 8 year old (that plan isn’t even available at Nationwide anymore) and $10 more a month for the same coverage for my 3 year old. Pumpkin’s wellness plan has more coverage too. Also they offer 10% discount on multiple pets vs NW 5%. They do have pre-existing conditions exclusions too but after investigating 10 different other pet insurance plans they still have better coverage than any of the rest. My vet recommended Pumpkin to me when I got my 3 year old as a puppy. Wish I had investigated it then. Would have saved me a lot of money due to Nationwide’s low coverage caps if I had changed to Pumpkin when I originally got my 3 year old.

That was easy

Very easy to onboard my youngest pet and to create the last claim for our first fur baby.
