Absolutely love my pet insurance!

I've had many friends get dog and run into the typical horror stories where unexpected problems and illnesses occur and suddenly the dog goes from a $700 investment to a $7000 one. I started researching pet insurance RIGHT when I knew I seriously wanted a puppy. There are many fancy new brands with apps and instant access and such, but nothing gives you the TOTAL and FULL coverage like Nationwide. I have found this insurance to be such a financial safety net I needed when buying a dog. I have no qualms about taking my little guy to get the care he needs, when he needs it because I know Nationwide will have my back. The total wellness package option is a little pricey, but worth every penny (especially as a first time dog owner) to know that if the worst happens, you won't be digging into your savings to pay for it. The claims process is super easy, and I am reimburse without questions asked. It's easier than my own health insurance. I'll never go anywhere else with my dog. I love Nationwide's hassle-free, sleep without worrying, simply the best coverage!

First claim covers annual premium

My first time enrolling and submitting a claim the reimbursement covers the premium cost for both of my pets enrolled for a year. A simple surgery for a small dog may cost up to a $1000 and to have most of that covered less a deductible helps relieve the financial burden and commit to better health for my pets.

Claims

This is our first experience with pet insurance. All I can say is, why did I wait so long to invest in such a great product. Having lost 2 Golden Retrievers to cancer since 2009, this was a no brainier for our current Golden Retriever. This Nationwide policy was a good investment in our dog's health. Already filed 4 claims and the processing of the reimbursements and deductible applications was beyond my expectations. Very happy!
