Pet owners upset after receiving notice that their Nationwide pet insurance was dropped

People are posting on TikTok, Reddit and Facebook, and they are angry.

An estimated 300,000 pet owners received letters in the mail saying their Nationwide pet insurance policies would “not be renewed”, according to a report by The Canine Review. Nationwide blames “economic pressures from inflation, higher interest rates and rising costs.”

Robin Tobias and Scott Proxy were notified the policy for their dog, Ginger, was not being renewed.

Robin Tobias: “Absolutely an injustice. If this happened to anybody’s child, I’m sure a lot more action would be taken.”

When they brought Ginger home to Aventura, they wanted to give her the best life possible.

Robin Tobias: “We took a 90% policy with wellness, so we took the best policy that they offered at the time. We wanted to make sure she was covered for everything.”

Scott and Robin got the policy for Ginger when she was younger to make sure she was covered for anything that developed as she got older.

She now has a heart murmur, among other issues, which will make getting a new policy nearly impossible.
