Great insurance with reliable coverage!
Nationwide Insurance has been a life-saver when it comes to my pet! I have the total pet plus wellness plan and they help cover everything from flea and tick prevention, to Lyme disease treatment for my fur baby. I definitely recommend this insurance to other pet owners!

Skin Allergies and Itching
I called the Vet Help Line. My English Setter gets Skin Allergies and Itching every season when it starts to turn warm. The Vet on the Help Line suggested I take him to a local vet. I had to drive 1.5 hours to get to a Emergency Vet Hospital because it was the weekend and no local vets were open, he was in tremendous pain from the itch. You asked for the good, the bad and the ugly in the review. So, here it is: I suggest you get a Board Certified Homeopath Vet for your Help Line. Skin Allergies and Itching are the #1 reason owners take their dogs to the vet. Nationwide, you could save us all some money and eliminate those costly visits, harsh drugs and repeat visits if you would give us access to a BOARD CERTIFIED HOMEOPATH that is also a Traditional Vet with years of experience behind them. During my emergency vet visit I realized I did not want anything they were offering. I contacted my vet who I have been working with for Hank's skin allergies and itching on the next weekday, she told me what to do that was safe, more gentle than harsh drugs like antibiotics, apoquel and steroids. (Using these drugs the cycle keeps repeating and you wind up destroying your best friends kidneys and liver over time. My dog is excluded on my policy for skin allergies. It would have been great to call the Help Line and talk to a homeopath. Thank you for having the Vet Help Line option.
