Three other reasons to consider Healthy Paws over Nationwide:
Three other reasons to consider Healthy Paws over Nationwide:
- While there is no annual limit for Nationwide's most expensive plan, Whole Pet with Wellness, the Major Medical Plan does have annual claim payout limits or per incident payout allowances.
- Their Major Medical Plan relies on a benefit schedule (instead of reimbursing based on the actual vet bill) and reimbursement is capped at a set amount for each condition.
- Hereditary and congenital conditions are covered under Nationwide's most expensive plan, but other plans do not cover many of these conditions. Some hereditary conditions and cruciate ligament injuries are only covered after a 1-year waiting period.
Nationwide is one of the few pet insurance providers that will extend coverage beyond dogs and cats, covering birds and all manner of other pets, so if you are looking to cover a different kind of pet, choose Nationwide.
