Vet Helpline is a great benefit.

I used the vet helpline service regarding my 13 year old who has a chronic upper respiratory problem and has been under treatment for this for over two years. I spoke to Shelly on the helpline regarding my cat's symptoms, current medications, and other treatment options. It was very helpful and extremely information. For one thing, I was able to take notes about all the options and get answers to my questions about her problem. Talking this out with a third party really helped increase my understanding. She suggested a couple of options for me to discuss with my vet--which I did today. I am really grateful that you offer this service. I can see where it would be especially beneficial if there was a complicated problem with costly decisions to be made. It helps folks sort out the possibilities. Thanks to Shelly and thanks for providing this service.

Best investment we could imagine!

Nationwide is the best investment in your pet's care I could imagine. I know firsthand, given that our English Bulldog puppy had a very expensive first six months of life and her vet bills totaled about $15,000. Nationwide's Whole Pet Insurance paid for 90% of all medical claims with a $250 deductible and truly saved her life. For a small monthly premium, you can give your pet a lifetime of health security. Not only that, after the very costly first year of care, Nationwide didn't raise our rates. I cannot recommend them more highly in terms of the expansive nature of the coverage their policy provides, in addition to the very caring individuals at the company with whom I've interacted. If only humans had this level of health care coverage!

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.

Deductible

Annual deductibles range from $0 to $1,000. Most popular annual deductible for Whole Pet with Wellness is $250.

Age Limits

No age restriction to enroll in company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness. Other plans may have age restrictions.

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.
Since 1982, Nationwide has helped pet owners protect what matters most. As the largest provider of pet health insurance in the U.S., Nationwide currently insures over 600,000 dogs, cats, birds and exotic pets for medical conditions related to illnesses, injuries accidents and wellness care. In 2015, it introduced Whole Pet with Wellness, the only U.S. pet health insurance plan offering complete coverage for injuries, accidents, illnesses and wellness care. Policies range from nose-to-tail coverage to routine pet care plans that offer reimbursement for wellness exams and preventive treatments.
