Why Nationwide
The Nationwide® difference
Nationwide pet insurance was established by veterinarians four decades ago with the express goal of ending economic euthanasia. Today, we employ hundreds of veterinary professionals who use their veterinary medical expertise to help design industry-leading products, process member claims and service veterinary partners. Nationwide was the first to offer pet insurance as a voluntary benefit through brokers and employer groups more than 20 years ago—and continues to be their #1 choice.
