I filed my first claim for healthy paws pet insurance over a year after I enrolled my new dog. Throughout the entire time I have owned him, I have been diligent in submitting proof of soap notes from previous vet visits (one over a year before I submitted a claim and the other several months before). I also submitted proof of vaccinations as well as negative parasite tests. When Beau injured his leg and needed an xray, I filed my first claim. I was then told that there needed to be more documentation. I emailed back said documentation, but figured I should also call for good measure. The customer service department was unable to tell me what documents they had previously received. (I will note that any time I had submitted documentation I received an automated email). When I asked if I could speak to anyone who worked in the claims department I was told there was no phone number, and the only way to contact them was via email. When I asked for that email, I was given the general customer service email that can be found on the website… so not anyone linked to claims. All emails I have sent have only been answered with automated responses. When I went back and totaled up how much I had spent on this dog insurance service, I was dismayed to find that had I simply put the same amount of money to the side I would have been able to cover my dogs treatment. I think that this company goes out of their way to make contacting them difficult, and receiving information regarding you claim impossible. I hope someone reads this review and saves themselves the money or finds another honest insurance company that will actually cover new injuries.

They don't cover tests even if it is caused by an emergency. We had a bill of $422 and they covered $0 . Really not worth for the price I pay monthly.

On behalf of my family: 10+ years of using their services can be erased by one piece of paper mail that you never received stating that they would stop the specific coverage/plan type in your state. No email, no messages on our account, just a sudden "expired" in the middle of the only medical emergency my cat has ever had. And now, they are denying total and any coverage of her because they now consider her medical emergency to be "pre-existing" when they made me reapply as if I were an entirely new customer, despite having my entire old record showing that this only began occurring in the last two months! No option to grandfather in, no sympathy, no accountability for the lack of communication! So now I have no coverage at all. 8 pets and over a decade of loyalty to this company were completely erased by their inability to send anything more than a piece of snail mail to notify me of these changes, even though I had signed up to be paperless!! Completely unacceptable in this day and age of technology, and how untrustworthy and backhanded of a company to treat their long-time customers this way.

They deserve a zero. They have not paid any of claims. My vet and I sent them all the notes and info they requested then they claim they were unsuccessful obtaining them!! They are full of it! This place is a scam! You pay them premiums but when it's time for them to pay, they find any false excuses to deny your claim. Avoid doing business with this place. I will be canceling and go somewhere else.

Do NOT insure with Nationwide Pet Insurance!! Thousands of cancelations for no reasons. Cannot trust this insurance company for ANY type of insurance. BEWARE!!!

I signed up two pet policies. The start date change button was grayed out so it did not allow for any date except the following date which is standard. I immediately emailed and was sent a link to change the date. The link did not work. So, I am being forced to pay for two policies for two additional months. I had no less than 10 emails and they would not admit their error or help me in any way. Worst customer service that I have ever experienced.

Not sure why I had to pay for 2 months up front. Didn't have to do that the last time since the premium is automatic withdrawn from my paycheck.

My wellness claims for a healthy dog's yearly wellness visit got denied. I paid this company for months for wellness and wasn't able to use any of the benefit because they denied claims multiple times for reasons the company would call "mistakes" when I called. It was clear they were just coming up with any reason to deny me and a total pain to deal with the claims. I dropped the coverage. It's not worth hours of my time to get a tiny bit of coverage for a simple yearly checkup.

Absolutely infuriated with ASPCA, going through the sign up process it seemed like a lovely value, and my understanding was that the preventative limits were what were always covered up to, not if my vet charged a single cent more, nothing would be covered. I feel scammed of my $120 spent on my new puppy, who went through his crucial vaccination period and I received hardly anything back from the insurance because everything cost $35 instead of $25. It makes absolutely no sense why you would refuse to pay up to your allowed amount, and instead decide to cover $0 because my bill was higher. I should be responsible for the $10 difference, not the full amount PLUS my monthly premium. Simple a scam and I will be canceling.

Bought pet insurance for my cat. Initially it was $23/month, then jumped to $49, then jumped again 1yr later to $71. Cancelling and switching to another reputable and established company that’s back in the $20-40 range.
