timely response easy to understand coverage

Marco needed urgent bladder surgery to remove stone and postoperative care. Nationwide refunded the cost of the surgery according to my plan in a timely easy to understand manner. They were better to deal with than my own health insurance company!

emergency visit

We had boarded Phoebe when we went out of town at a reputable kennel. She was fully vaccinated, which was also a requirement of the kennel. Five days after we brought her home she developed a violent cough almost like something was lodged in her throat. We took her to our veterinarian and it was diagnosed as kennel cough. It was frightening. She had to be x-rayed to ensure there wasn't something lodged. Nationwide covered almost the entire visit which was wonderful.. I would recommend this insurance for all pet owners

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.
