Nationwide Pet Insurance is responsive, friendly, and the best investment we ever made in the health of our dog.

We have insured Blue since we brought her home at 8 weeks. Through every surgery, vet visit, and new ailment, Nationwide has been there to help us defray costs and feel confident that we can always afford to give her the best care possible.

Love the Help Line

I recently called the Vet Help Line for a snake bite incident. As always, they are a great help and are able to keep me calm in an emergency situation. And they always follow-up afterwards. The turn around time on claims seems to be getting longer and longer. That is my only complaint.

Best decision I ever made!

This policy is better than my own health insurance. Paid EVERY dime less the deductible. I recommend this to everyone I see that has a pet. Especially those that like to chew tennis balls and eat them 🐶

I'm so thankful for Nationwide Pet Insurance!

I have always thought of my dogs as healthy but my sweet, 10 year old girl Khloe (a Chihuahua) started having problems with her back leg out of the blue. Turns out it was a torn CCL (like an ACL knee injury that I think of skiers and snowboarders getting!). After I paid my $250 deductible, I got a check back for 90% of the cost of her expensive surgery. It was a great day getting that insurance check in the mail! Khloe is doing great and back to her old (young-at-heart), playful self!
