Pet insurance is an investment in your pet’s health and your peace of mind. Here are eight tips to help you make the right decision when choosing a plan.
How do I choose the best insurance for my dog?
The best pet insurance for your dog is one that fits your needs and your budget. When choosing your plan, consider how much medical care (for accidents and illnesses) is typical for your dog’s breed and whether you want wellness coverage for preventive care.
Should I buy pet insurance?
We believe every pet deserves the best health care. And while you can’t predict when your pet might get sick or hurt, you can be prepared with pet insurance. Nationwide reimburses you for eligible veterinary expenses so you can focus on helping your pet stay healthy—not on what it costs.
How can I protect my cat’s health with insurance?
It’s a common misperception that cats never get sick or hurt. Turns out, they’re just really good at hiding it. But with regular checkups, your vet can detect problems before they become more serious. Pet insurance can help offset those costs and help you keep your cat feel-ine fine.
What is covered by pet insurance?
We offer nose-to-tail coverage for:
-
Accidents
Emergency care, including broken bones, sprains, lacerations and poisoning

What if I have a pet other than a dog or cat?
Nationwide is the only pet insurer to offer coverage for birds and exotic pets, including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, pigs, lizards, reptiles and frogs.
How do I submit a pet insurance claim?
Simply pay your veterinarian at the time of service, then send us the invoice along with your claim form. You can submit right from your phone, or fax, email or mail it.
Do you provide on-demand veterinary support for pet health questions?
All Nationwide pet insurance members get unlimited, 24/7 virtual pet care through the VetHelpline® app. Whether you have a general pet question or a potential urgent care need, our licensed veterinary professionals are available anytime, anywhere.
Can I get insurance for multiple pets?
Yes! In fact, the more pets you insure, the more you save. We offer the same customizable coverage choices for multiple pets as our individual pet insurance plans.
