Love Spot Pet Insurance!
I only ever had one issue with a claim that was easily resolved and I didn't have to call in, I'm able to message them straight from my client portal. Super helpful and less time consuming!
Came through for us
We have made a half dozen claims for small amounts for our one year old large breed and only a couple times they were approved, sometimes after making reassessment appeals, which was disappointing and annoying. We thought we were going down the "pre-existing condition" rabbit hole. However, we recently had to make a four figure claim and it was approved in ONE day, which is quite surprising, in a good way. We appreciate this and will stick with them for now as they came through when we needed them to honor the Insurance we paid for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? Don't worry, we've got you covered.
What Does Pet Insurance Cover?
Pet insurance can put money back in your pocket for veterinary costs needed to diagnose, treat, and manage an eligible condition. Exams and rechecks, x-rays, ultra-sounds, bloodwork, surgeries, stitches, medication, and prescriptions, and even prescription diets are all examples of costs that can be claimed for if they are used to treat or diagnose a covered condition.
When is the ideal time to get pet insurance for my pet?
Plans provided by Spot can insure puppies and kittens 8 weeks and older. We recommend that pets be insured while they are still young; before they develop any “pre-existing conditions”.
What determines the cost of my pet insurance premium?
There are multiple factors that can affect the cost of a pet insurance premium including the age and breed of your pet, your location, and your plan configuration. Spot’s accident-only and accident and illness base plans can be customized by selecting a deductible, reimbursement rate, and annual limit from a variety of options, each which help configure the cost of your monthly premium. Selection of an optional preventive care add-on or eligibility for a multipet discount can also affect the cost of your premium.
What is a Pre-Existing Condition?
A pet’s illness or accident is considered pre-existing if the condition was onset before the pet insurance policy coverage effective dates, or during a waiting period. This means if the first signs or symptoms of a condition showed up before coverage started, it would be considered pre-existing to coverage, even if it was not formally diagnosed. The most common reason why an illness or an accident is not covered by any pet insurance provider is if the condition was present before coverage started. For coverage to be available with almost all types of insurance, the problem must be new and unexpected.
For example, if typical symptoms of allergies (itchy skin, ear infections) were present before the coverage was effective or appeared within the waiting period of the policy, the allergies and related conditions, such as itchy paws and pyoderma, would be pre-existing to coverage.
