Benefit Summary
Pet insurance helps cover the cost of veterinary care for accidents, illnesses, and preventive services. It provides financial protection and peace of mind for pet owners, allowing you to focus on your pet’s health—not the bill. Plans typically offer flexible coverage options, reimbursement for eligible expenses, and the freedom to use any licensed veterinarian.

- Visit any licensed veterinarian in the United States or anywhere else in the world.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do members need to re-enroll for this benefit every year?
No. Once enrolled, policies renew automatically each year during the renewal period, which starts 60 days before the current 12-month term expires. The expiration date can be found in the policy packet mailed to members at new term. Members are welcome to make changes to coverage during the policy renewal period. All changes are subject to underwriting approval.
What happens to pet insurance policies when employees leave the company?
Employees will be given the option to retain their pet insurance coverage. We’ll reach out to their former employer to ask for updated billing and policy information in order to keep the coverage active.
Will pre-existing conditions be covered?
Unfortunately, no. Like most pet insurers, we don’t cover pre-existing conditions on any of our plans.
Can members use any veterinarian?
Absolutely! Members are free to visit any licensed veterinarian in the world – even specialists and emergency providers.
Does Nationwide offer coverage for pets other than dogs and cats?
Yes! Coverage for birds, rabbits, reptiles, and other exotic pets is available at Nationwide by simply calling 877-738-7874.
