Two weeks ago, Miles Thorson sat down with Peter Kenseth for an in-depth conversation about the current state of the pet insurance industry. Given the recent news surrounding Nationwide's decision not to renew coverage for certain policyholders, Miles and Peter met again last week for a quick follow-up discussion.   Our mission at Odie Pet Insurance is to ensure that as many cats and dogs as possible get access to the medical treatments they need without their parents facing financial difficulty. We achieve this through innovative distribution methods and solutions to make pet insurance more accessible. In this week's episode of Petworking, learn about how Odie is rethinking coverage options that have historically been barriers to entry. Thank you, Peter Kenseth, for continuing to highlight the importance of pet insurance and helping to raise awareness of the pet insurance landscape. https://lnkd.in/eJCYFiii

🐾 Important Pet Insurance Update: Nationwide's Recent Cancellations & A Game-Changing New Innovation! Nationwide's recent announcement to cancel coverage for 100,000 pets has sparked important conversations about the future of pet insurance. What does this mean for pet owners and the industry at large? In the latest episode of Petworking, I had an insightful discussion with Miles Thorson of Odie Pet Insurance about this development and the innovative solutions emerging in response. Miles unveiled Odie's new groundbreaking approach that could save coverage for pets with pre-existing conditions, which I think could revolutionize the pet insurance industry. The ability to maintain coverage continuity when switching insurers could be a game-changer, not only for pets affected by the Nationwide cancellations, but all pet owners, as this will make pet insurance far more competitive, and will help to eliminate the market inefficiency that arises by having a health insurance product underwritten as property & casualty insurance. 🎧 Listen to the full episode and read the accompanying article to get the details on Odie's new insurance innovation, and also hear our discussion of: 🐾How technology is shaping more personalized pet insurance options 🐾The unexpected role pet insurance could play in advancing nutrition research Whether you're a current policyholder or considering pet insurance, this information is valuable for every pet owner, industry professionals, and anyone interested in the future of pet healthcare.

This week, Nationwide Insurance made a difficult announcement, stating that it will not be renewing approximately 100,000 pet insurance policies due to the increased cost of veterinary care. This decision could not have been made lightly, as all pet insurance companies strive to ensure their pets receive the necessary medical treatments.    Unfortunately, however, this leaves many pet parents in a difficult situation. Securing pet insurance will now be more challenging and costly, especially for older pets and those with pre-existing conditions.    At Odie, we're committed to ensuring all pets have access to the care they need, without their parents facing financial difficulty. Together with our partners and via our direct-to-consumer products, we offer flexible and affordable plans, ranging from comprehensive coverage to accident-only policies (a very low barrier to entry for those pets with pre-existing conditions). Our plans come with access to 24/7 telehealth chat, short waiting periods, the ability to visit any vet of choice, and many additional benefits designed to enable pet parents to support the long-term health of their pets. #petinsurance #petparenting #pethealthcare #petindustry

🚨 Breaking News in Pet Insurance: Nationwide Cancels Coverage for 100,000 Pets 📊 As someone who is a strident champion of the value of pet insurance, I was somewhat dismayed to see Nationwide's announcement last week that it will cancel coverage for approximately 100,000 pets across the country. The company cited rising veterinary costs, inflation, and other factors affecting profitability as reasons for this decision. While the company stated that the cancellations were not based on specific pet characteristics like age, breed, or claim history, the sad reality of the situation is that many older pets will be affected by this decision. This is a crucial point because: a) These pets are often the most in need of insurance coverage due to higher healthcare needs. b) They may face significant difficulties finding alternative coverage because almost all pet insurance carriers exclude pre-existing conditions. This situation could create a serious insurance gap for a vulnerable group of pets and their owners, and underscores a significant problem in the pet insurance market. Because pets are considered property in the eyes of the law, we're left with a situation where a health insurance product is underwritten as property & casualty insurance. As such, pet owners who have paid for a lifetime of insurance coverage for their pets may face a situation where the lifetime investment that they made to ensure that there pets have insurance coverage when they need it most goes for naught. This move raises serious questions about the state of the pet insurance industry and the options available to pet owners, especially those with older or health-compromised pets. 🎙️ Tune in next week for a special episode of Petworking! I'll be joined by Miles Thorson of Odie Pet Insurance to discuss: - The broader implications for the pet insurance industry - What options are available for affected pet owners - The future of pet insurance in light of these developments Don't miss this crucial conversation for all pet owners and industry professionals. Stay tuned for the episode release date! #PetInsurance #VeterinaryCare #PetOwnership #IndustryNews #Petworking https://lnkd.in/eFtSJxts
