Pretend Runny Nose 5 Years Ago Means Asthma is a "Preexisting" Condition

I decided to get pet insurance after experiencing high vet bills when my oldest cat had kidney failure. Since getting this policy, Nationwide has rejected every single one of my claims because a vet 5 years ago added a visit note that my cat's nose was wet. Even when I escalated this issue, noting that my cat had never had asthma attacks before this year, Nationwide rejected my claims. Now, I've spent $286 paying for a policy and $800 paying for vet visits, lung x-rays, and medication. I do not recommend this insurance unless your pet has literally never seen a vet.

Insurance Covered Major Dental Work

My elderly dog needed major dental surgery which was carefully and respectfully provided by my local vets. She was tested to see if she could handle anesthesia (she could) and surgery went well. When I submitted my claim, the insurance covered easily half of the costs which was deeply appreciated. Being a resilient mixed breed (poodle, schnauzer), she recovered quickly and is back to demanding attention, walks, treats and meals.

Best insurance for pets

I can’t say enough about how great Nationwide Insurance has been. We have had the insurance since our dog was 6 months old, and we have used the instance many times. Our dog just recently had gallbladder surgery which I was very expensive. Nationwide processed the claim in two weeks. This has been our experience for years ( our dog is 9 years old).
