Covered his monthly medications
I am SO happy we have chosen to insure our pet. This is our first experience with having insurance for a pet. Expenses can add up with a pet and it helps to have a little financial help with paying for the medications that keep him healthy.

Annual visit plus some minor miscellaneous issues that required medications
Nationwide offers a variety of plans for every pet parent. I have owned dogs my entire life, and some of my pets have had some serious illnesses later in their lives, so pet insurance is a must for my needs. The top level plan at Nationwide is worth the cost and I would rather be safe than sorry having experienced how expensive treatment can be for an elderly pet with a serious illness if you do not have insurance. I now have a new puppy and opted for the best coverage from the get go for prevention and potential future medical issues as pets age.
Though this is by no means a major issue, every company can always improve something. I would like to see an improvement in the time to process claims. Presently, my claim experience is about 3 weeks, give or take a few days either way. This current claim is still in process, so my response below is based on previous claims.
Monthly Cost
Policies start at approximately $12 per month.
Coverage
Nationwide offers a variety of plans offering varying levels of coverage.
The company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness, offers 90% reimbursement for accident, injury, illness and wellness care, inclusive of exam fees.
All Nationwide members have complimentary 24/7 access to vethelpline.
Payout Limits
Depending on the plan selected, there may be annual benefit limits or per incident benefit allowances.
There is no annual limit for the company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness.

Most popular annual deductible for Whole Pet with Wellness is $250.

Waiting Period
14-day waiting period after application approved and payment of premium is received.
Exclusions
Pre-existing conditions are not covered on any plans (if a condition is curable, it may be eligible for review if pet remains treatment-free for at least six months).
Whole Pet with Wellness covers nearly all veterinary expenses. Notable exclusions include boarding and grooming.
