Life Saver | Nationwide is really by your side

Taffy our American Bulldog needed TPLO torn ACL knee surgery and Nationwide truly was "by our side". This allowed us to concentrate on Taffy and her recovery and we received the "all clear" 5 weeks earlier than expected!

You have done a great job paying for Greta’s charges through this ongoing illness.

It has been a difficult ten months for Greta and it’s a relief to know that you will pick up some of the charges.

Nationwide has been so helpful in assisting with the cost of Madison's medical expenses.

We have had such a wonderful experience with Nationwide. It is so easy to submit a claim, and the response time is very quick. Thank you for all your help with Madison's expenses.

So glad I chose Nationwide for my dog

As new “parents” to Harry, we were very worried when he was limping and favoring one foot after running in the park. I called the Nationwide helpline and after going through several “tests” over the phone, they suggested I take Harry to the ER. They said that he was clearly experiencing pain, even if he hadn’t seriously injured his foot and it would be worth the trip even if just to get a pain reliever. I was pleasantly surprised that Nationwide recommended what was best for Harry and not the cost. I had already met my $100 deductible, so the trip to the ER and medication cost me $12 out of pocket. $12!!! Amazing.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.
