Testimonials

"I’ve had my German Shepherd insured through Nationwide since 2015 (when they were Veterinary Pet Insurance). The annual premium appears to be set such that, if you do for the year are wellness visits to the vet *and* you purchase the usual meds (flea, tick, heartworm), you will recover the cost of the premium — that is, you break even for the year. That’s actually a pretty good deal, because if there are any unanticipated issues, then you’re likely going to be saving money."

"I’m shocked two see negative reviews for Nationwide’s pet insurance. I’ve have multiple great experiences with them each year. Most recently, my 8-year old Dane mix (Cooper) tore his ccl. Consistent with my past experiences, Nationwide processed every claim related to this injury within one week. While my monthly bill is similar to car insurance, it’s worth every penny. I can’t imagine life without Nationwide. I highly recommend their top tier coverage (low annual deductible and 90% reimbursement)"

"So far I do not have any major complaints. There are some items I wish they covered like prescription food and teeth cleaning. They have been very prompt in resolving the claims that have been submitted."

"We like the comprehensive coverage, Vet Helpline, ability to see any vet. We do not like the difficulty submitting claims and lack of communication when a claim we have submitted has been unreadable. I have usually submitted claims by email and though some of them have not been readable, I have not received any notice of this. I have had to go into our account and pull up the claim history to see the notice that the photo I sent of the receipt was not readable. I only received an email saying the claim has been received. In addition, the FAX number has never worked-there is no answer when I FAX. Please fix these two areas and I will be able to award 5 stars. Thanks!"
