The pack leader in voluntary benefits
Pet insurance by Nationwide®
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.
Engagement support
Nationwide offers an exclusive team that assists with onboarding, implementation, and ongoing marketing support of your pet insurance benefit offering, as well as a dedicated payroll billing analyst.
Exclusive plans
Preferred pricing and unique plan benefits only available to employees.
Zero cost
Add tremendous value to benefit packages without adding a single cost, no minimum participation required.
Why should I offer pet insurance?
Offering pet insurance is a meaningful way for companies to support employees with pets, and to boost employee engagement at the same time. Offering Nationwide pet insurance as a voluntary benefit is easy and popular with employees.
What perks are available to employees?
We offer a choice of reimbursement options so employees can find coverage that fits their budget. All plans have a $250 annual deductible and $7,500 maximum annual benefit. Plus, every My Pet Protection policy includes emergency boarding and kenneling fees, lost pet due to theft or straying, lost pet advertising and reward, and mortality benefit for maximum value.
