So Glad I Switched
I have had both of my dogs insured since they were puppies and Nationwide is the third insurance I have had. I switched after seeing information on it at my vet's office and then comparing my current plan to their quote. Every contact I have had with them has been fantastic. Their coverage is superior to anyone else out there for a comparable price and they pay claims very quickly. Only thing missing is submitting a claim online through the website but you can email it which is good. I highly recommend Nationwide!

Wish my own insurance was this good!
When we got our kitten I hesitated about getting pet insurance. Our vet recommended Nationwide and I'm thrilled that we listened to her. Getting Nationwide pet insurance has already paid us back and I feel more comfortable having it. What astonished me is how efficient you are and how quickly you both acknowledge when a claim is submitted and how quickly you issue the reimbursement. I wish I were a cat so I could be on your plan. By comparison my family health care plan stinks. Nationwide could teach a thing or two to the human health insurance world.

Very easy with the new ap
I will say, with the association with VitusVet, this was the easiest claim ever. Well done, team!
