Expensive and Slow

We have used pet insurance for over 10 years. Nationwide has gotten really expensive, so expensive we can only afford it for one of our dogs now. They also are not very quick at processing claims or replying to emails. I submitted a wellness claim and the form printed without the box checked and I didn't notice. It took them almost a month to finally tell me they couldn't process it because it wasn't filled out correctly. The invoice from the vet that was attached clearly stated it was a wellness exam, but that wasn't good enough. Nationwide is just not worth the hassle anymore and their customer service is awful.

Worthwhile coverage

I have three dogs covered. Two pure breeds and one mixed. I’ve had several issues with my Yorkie for the last couple of years (two bladder surgeries among other things) and have had good service/refunds. Customer service has also been helpful and pleasant. I don’t have routine vet visits covered but it is great for any illness/surgery. The vets can be extremely expensive these days!

Everything I Ever Wanted In A Pet Insurance

I wish I had done this for all my pets. It is peace of mind knowing I am covered every time i go to the vet. All I can say is I recommend Nationwide to every pet parent.

Maria was so helpful in completing my claim. Thank you!!

Called a few times and thought my claim had everything needed but was not the case. Finally Maria took over and we got everything squared away. Claim was processed quickly. Thank you!

So glad we invested in Nationwide Whole pet with wellness Insurance

We are so very grateful that we decided to purchase a Nationwide Whole pet with wellness plan!!! We love out 10 month old Goldendoodle, Duke, however when he decided to eat a sock and had an obstruction the whole situation was very stressful. We were so grateful that we had the insurance which covered his surgery and 3 day hospital stay! What a blessing to be able to only worry about our amazing pup and his recovery, instead of the financial burden it may have caused our family. We are planning to add our older dog to the policy as well. I recommend this plan if you have pets that you love!!!
