Transform the way you care for your furry friend.

What if you had a crystal ball that could tell you how likely it is that your pet will get sick or hurt? What if it could predict the age that illness or injury is most likely to happen, and even offer insights into what would then happen at the veterinary clinic? Such knowledge would not only help you keep your pet healthier but also help you to make the best choices for your pet’s treatment.

The good news is you now have that help, with a free online service from Nationwide®: The Pet HealthZone® (ThePetHealthZone.com). This groundbreaking platform uses Nationwide claims data from millions of pets to provide in-depth information about specific health risks by breed or mix and age. With just a few clicks, you’ll receive customized health insights, fun facts and expert advice on how to best care for your pet.

While each pet is unique, they do share some health issues with others based on ancestry and age. The Pet HealthZone is designed to help pet parents uncover the increased risks their pet may face—including the estimated costs for treatment—so they can have more in-depth, proactive conversations with their pet’s veterinary healthcare team.

For example, did you know Labrador retriever puppies are at a significantly higher risk of foreign body ingestion than other dogs? Or that an adult rottweiler is at high risk for bone cancer? Knowing the risks and learning early signs can help prevent some dangers and catch others early, when treatment options are often better.

The Pet HealthZone also contains treasure troves of valuable information on your pet’s particular training, exercise and grooming needs, thanks to contributions from Nationwide’s pet experts. You can even find out how much each breed sheds, and what the most common names for each breed are!

This free service is available to all pet lovers. Although the Pet HealthZone started with the 50 most pup-ular breeds insured by Nationwide (including mixed-breed mutts and recognizable cross-breeds like Labradoodles), more breeds in all sizes are being added, along with information on cats.

Visit ThePetHealthZone.com and level up your pet parenting.
