Wellness Visit

I am very diligent about getting yearly visits for my dogs, and proactive if I see anything unusual with their health. My 3 year old Lab recently had her Wellness visit, and was in perfect health. The ONLY thing extra was that the vet expressed her anal glands. Apparently Nationwide views this as a pre-existing condition since she must have had it done once before in the 3 years I’ve had her. It surprised me that this was not covered. This is a preventative check to make sure the glands don’t get infected.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.

The company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness, offers 90% reimbursement for accident, injury, illness and wellness care, inclusive of exam fees.
