In the United States, only Nationwide offers Pet Insurance for Rabbits and other Exotic Animals in all 50 states.
MetLife sells pet insurance for rabbits, but only in the states of Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, North Carolina, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Bivvy no longer insures rabbits. At one time, they had policies in Colorado, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Effective October 1st 2021, Nationwide no longer has the 90% coverage or the Wellness Plan. The highest level available now is 70% coverage of ONLY emergencies and sickness.
