What does Pet Insurance cover?

Pet Insurance can help you give your furry family members the care they need without worrying as much about unexpected expenses. With Pet Insurance, you may get cash back for certain medical expenses, including:

  • Diagnostic testing
  • Hospitalization
  • Surgeries
  • Skin allergies
  • Stomach issues
  • Ear infections
  • UTIs
  • Arthritis
  • Diabetes
  • Kidney disease

What is not covered?

  • Pre-existing conditions

Pre-existing conditions include conditions, illnesses, injuries or symptoms that manifested prior to the coverage date and/or any applicable waiting period.

Please see plan details in the more resources section for more information on pre-existing conditions and other restrictions.

Is it right for you?

Only you can decide if Pet Insurance is right for you, but here are some common considerations when making a decision:

  • You can’t afford an unexpected vet expense
  • You worry that you won’t be able to pay an upfront vet premium out of pocket — and therefore may not be able to get your pet the care they need
  • You have multiple pets and annual vet bills are stretching your finances

What Nationwide Pet Insurance customers are saying

Thanks so much to Nationwide! My boy Max who is 12 was recently diagnosed with cancer in his ear canal. The best treatment for him was to have the canal removed. 3 weeks ago he had surgery and is doing great! Thanks to Nationwide I was able financially to help my boy.

Dear Nationwide, We just wanted to say how super happy we have been with the claim reimbursements for Gus's recent knee surgeries. Totally unexpected expenses, so we were pleased that both of his surgeries were covered. Glad we chose to provide insurance for our furry member of our family! Thank you Nationwide!

Dear Nationwide, Levi was found by Red Door Shelter in a dumpster with blue paint poured all over him in 90 degree weather. They took him in and changed him up. He was very thin. I adopted him and I’m so glad. I had rabbits in the past but I found out about Nationwide pet insurance through the internet. I called and signed up and I’m so glad because he has had several health concerns lately and I feel so much better that he has health insurance. Nationwide has been a God send. Just knowing I have them makes me feel better when I take Levi to the vet. We can do the tests he suggests and I know Levi is being well taken care of.
