What's covered

by Nationwide® pet insurance

Whether you're looking for a specific illness or injury or just want an overview of coverage, research Nationwide pet insurance here.

Important Disclosures: Some exclusions may apply. For example, certain coverages may be excluded due to pre-existing or chronic conditions, or hereditary or congenital disorders. Other exclusions may apply. Please refer to the exclusions section of the policy for more information. Coverage limitations from waiting periods, deductibles, coinsurance, or policy limits may also apply. Premiums may increase at renewal based on various factors like a pet’s age, breed, location, or claim history depending on the plan selected. Wellness plans not available in all states.

Reimbursement example reflects Modular Plan Accident, Illness and optional Congenital & Hereditary rider as well as the optional Cruciate rider added after the first year of coverage, with $5,000 annual limit for each category and 80% reimbursement after the $250 annual deductible has been met. This plan may not be available in all areas. Pre-existing conditions are not covered. Veterinary bill amount is based on expenses incurred in the first 30 days after initial diagnosis.

What's not covered

We want to make care accessible to as many pets as possible, which is why we try to keep exclusions to a minimum.

Like all pet insurers, we do not cover pre-existing conditions, which are basically any illness or injury that your pet had before coverage started. They will not be covered unless cured.
