Incredibly Fast Service

We were on vacation in California when Billie started walking/acting differently. As overbearing new pet owners we found a pet urgent care and followed their directions. Billie was up being her young puppy self in days. The insurance was invaluable!! And the VitusVet app is so easy to use. We were reimbursed in less then a weeks time. Thank you Nationwide for your care of our little girl during this scary time. Every pet owner needs to Have Nationwide!!

Heart breaking

So upset with this insurance. I have been with you for 8 years with my dogs. I call today. And my dog Ozzy needs a certain medicine from his vet. It costs 471.00 a MONTH. I am on SSI disability. I get 1100 a month to live on. I spoke to the vet. He said he must take this medicine. Or he is going to get worse..I asked for help with Nationwide. They told me that they can only cover 500 a year. I find it unacceptable. I pay 150 a month for my dogs to be covered. I am very very upset. I can not live on 150 a week to live on. Please please help me. I don't want to see my dog suffer and possibly be put down if he doesn't get better. Thank you for your time for reading this. My heart is broken...I can't let anything happen Tony dog Ozzy.

Your company is very efficient when processing claims.

Jojo is doing well after his visit to the vet. Thank you so much for being so efficient when we are in need.

Best thing we have ever done for our pet!

Nationwide has always processed our claims quickly and I have always been reimbursed for covered veterinary services. They have great customer service agents that are helpful and caring. I have had insurance for both dogs for 4 years and it has been the best decision we could have made. They covered Bella’s knee surgery and that made the whole thing so much less stressful.

Processing speed

I absolutely love have Nationwide as my insurance for my pet, but the only thing that I would love to change is having either a quicker processing speed to pay off the debt of the vet bill, or to have the vet bill the pet insurance (like my human insurance does) and have me pay off the balance remaining. I believe the coverage is top notch, but feel this would make things so so so much better!
