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 later, we continue to be the industry-leading provider.*
Why Nationwide?
- More than half of Fortune 500 companies and nearly 10,000 organizations across the U.S. offer Nationwide pet insurance
- More than 1 million pets currently protected (and counting!)
- Nearly one in four of Nationwide pet associates are veterinary professionals
Focused on employees and their employers
Nationwide offers more for our members than other pet insurance providers, like flexible coverage plans and protection for birds and exotic pets with My Pet Protection Choice.
