Helping take care of Pepper

Pepper just got her yearly check up and all her shots. She checked out as super healthy and at a good weight. Nationwide helps us keep her that way and we love it.

good experiences so far

claims sent directly from my veterinarian avoids me unnecessary paperwork. Prompt reviews from the insurance company which agreed to cover my older (but healthy) pet.

Overall, I am pleased with having chosen Nationwide to insure my dog, Stella.

Stella severely damaged her knee (equivalent to an ACL). The surgery was very expensive and true to their word Nationwide cover exactly as stated in my policy. I would have appreciated more transparency in the claims processing, however. Simply knowing they received the claim wasn't helpful when they took thirty days to process the first claim.

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.
