Best Decision

Before selecting nationwide I read several reviews and found a number of people dissatisfied I called nationwide directly and found the company is under new management and I was encouraged to give them a try. Best decision Ever. Nationwide Pet Insurance has kept their word, honored my claims, and just a call away when my dog got sick and I wasn't sure if I should wait until the morning or take him to the hospital. The best pet insurance for our four legged babies

Can't believe I waited this long to get pet insurance!

Love Nationwide Pet Insurance! This is my second time having a pack of dogs. My first crew was 3 girls and I had them- from first dog to last- about 18 years. I didn't have insurance for them- looking back now, I can't think why not! (I think I could've purchased a new car with all the extra vet expenses...) I just recently got dogs again (2 dogs, a boy and a girl- after taking a 2 yr break) and the breeder we got them from recommended Nationwide. We sort of signed them up on a whim- or just to see what it was like for a year. And boy! am I glad I did! I've had excellent service, no hassles, and financial help with: fixing both both dogs, shots, meds, and with what looks to be an ongoing allergy problem with one of my dogs. It's really well worth it- don't know why I thought we wouldn't need it. I also like the feeling of knowing Nationwide's got my back for taking my dogs in when I have a concern. There's no question now in my mind about being safe rather than sorry with my dogs. I love it. I love the peace of mind. I'm sold, I'll keep them on insurance for the rest of their lives.

We received timely reimbursement for Nitro's major surgery and biopsies.

Our vet originally suspected that our GSP, Nitro, suffered from mass cell cancer. Since we had already lost our pug to that type of cancer we were, needless to say, very concerned. After evaluation and discussion of various alternatives, it was decided that surgery to remove the two tumors and biopsy of same was the best course of action. Fortunately, the biopsies indicated that both of the tumors, which were of two different types, were non-cancerous and that the conditions were cured by removing the tumors. However, it was quite expensive. Fortunately, Nationwide Pet Insurance covered nearly all of the costs, and reimbursement was very quick.
