I just insured our second dog

I just insured our second dog, Wednesday. On recommendation from our vet, I had already gotten insurance for Captain, that paid off when he needed a tumor removed. Franklin, from Nationwide, was knowledgeable, courteous and made it real easy to apply for insurance for Wednesday.

Very poor claim service

I submitted a claim on 1-9-25 for our dog who had broken a toenail bad enough to have the vet cut it all the way back. Since that time AKC pet insurance has repeatedly declined to pay our claim saying the invoice was created using Aspose software that can be altered. Which is entirely incorrect. Our Vet does not use this software. Our vet has sent in an invoice, I have forwarded an invoice from our vet by email & so far nothing. These claims people need to learn to pick up the phone to contact a vendor if there is a question.

Another great experience

Sadie's spleen is irregular and has some kind of mass. As always, throughout our process with her vet Embrace has continued to respond to our claims with empathy and kindness, and the claims have been paid quickly, which is important to us as we are seniors on fixed incomes.

Customer Service is always great but…

Customer Service is always great but it's about the only thing they have going for them. Once you submit anything to them they send an obscene amount of emails asking for clarification. My vet (and myself) have sent them them the documentation they need 5 or more times and they still can't seem to get out together. They don't pay out on certain ER services, because according to them they are not ER services. When I'm driving to an ER hospital with a limp animal at 2:00 a.m. with no rhyme or reason, all life saving things the ER vet does at that point to bring my dog back to life feels like it would be ER coverage. But Embrace will deny it. They take forever to process a claim and when you call, the agents are very nice but it seems it's always "another department" who is dropping the ball. I submitted a claim that added up to $21K, my coverage is for $5K and I'm getting resistance on how much of that is covered. There is no way $5K of $21K isn't covered but Embrace will most likely find a way to not cover it.

Grateful

I am very satisfied with the Pets Best claim submission experience. I have had to file a few times, and each time, Pets Best has been very responsive and true to the policy. I was particularly worried about the most recent time I submitted because my cat had to go through an expensive surgery. I'm so grateful that I have Pets Best and was able to get a lot of the money back.

Worst investment!

This company basically just steals your money every month for the premium and denies any claims you make, regardless of what they are. My dog had an ear infection, a fluke accident, and they denied the claim because they said it was a pre-existing condition. I don't understand how an ear infection is a pre-existing condition and even had my vet write a letter stating the exact cause of the ear infection and how it just happens in dogs from time to time, it wasn't caused by anything he's ever had previously and they denied both my appeal forms. They are greedy, won't pay for anything, and make the entire process horrible. There is no one to even call about discussing a denied claim, their call center doesn't know anything and can't give you any information as to the reasoning for the denial. They said there is no way to contact the appeals team directly which is just ridiculous. Do not get insurance with them, they deny everything and do not care about your pets, just making money off of you.

Just use ASPCA veterinary insurance

For some reason, Nationwide chooses to only communicate via snail mail like it is the 1800s. My credit card expired and rather than calling me or emailing me to let me know I needed to update my payment method, they sent me a letter, which I missed because I’m not Laura Ingalls. So then they cancelled my pet insurance policies. Once I noticed that I wasn’t being charged, I contacted them to get them reinstated. After weeks of back and forth because I asked them to TEXT or EMAIL me and they kept trying to CALL me during business hours, I was told that now one of my cats (at age 8) is too old to be covered for illness. They then claimed they would reinstate my other cat (age 4) with no issues, but then weeks later, I got an email (finally, an email!) stating that I would have to bring her to the vet before they would cover her. Prior to all this, when I had a cat pass away, they tried to reject my claim and I had to call them in tears and basically ask how they could reject my claim when the poor thing was literally dead. Then all of a sudden they told me that oh, someone put in the wrong code and I’d be reimbursed, but who needs that hassle? Having insurance with this company is like having a part time job, only you’re the one paying them. I was a customer since 2005 and they were very blasé about just dropping me. I have happily taken my business elsewhere.
