From public state insurance rate filings (state DOI lists and SERFF) and news reports that quote them. Where we have the regulator's own record we link it first; "(summary)" links a news write-up. A filed average is across all policyholders, so one pet's increase can be very different.
Common questions
How much is Nationwide raising prices?
We don't have enough owner reports for Nationwide yet to give a reliable number. Adding yours helps everyone.
Why did my Nationwide premium go up?
Most pet insurers raise premiums each year as your pet ages, and also when vet costs rise in your area. Increases are filed with state regulators, which is why they vary by state.
Should I switch from Nationwide?
Here is what typically changes when you move to a new insurer. A new policy usually treats any condition your pet already has, or had recently, as pre-existing and excludes it. New policies typically start with waiting periods before accident and illness coverage begins. The new premium is priced on your pet's current age, plus the deductible and reimbursement level you pick.
