Would rather have it than not

Having pet insurance is probably a good idea provided you don’t own a disease-prone dog for whom coverage exceptions are made. Our mixed-breed dog enjoys good health. we are satisfied with the reimbursements we’ve received for periodic health care and treatments.

Help when you need it the most

Teddy, my 14 month old miniature schnoodle, decided that white cap mushrooms were something he wanted to eat. 30 minutes after ingestion, he started to de-compensate very rapidly. He was vomiting and had diarrhea, and his abdomen was rigid. I immediately took him to my local vet, not really observing the speed limit, but I got to the vet in time for the little fellow. The bill was pretty expensive, but saved my puppies life. Nation Wide Pet insurance came in and reimbursed me the entire visit minus the deductible with no questions asked. Teddy is doing wonderful and we have him on a 12 step program for mushrooms anonymous.
