Great customer support during my first claim!
This was my first claim and everyone has been super friendly and helpful, whether via email or via phone. The claim was processed uber fast as well. I am ready to recommend you to all of my friends, because without Jeremiah’s insurance I am not sure that I could have afforded his ongoing treatment.
Very professional and easy to submit a claim
I have never had to put a claim in until the last 8 months which totalled two claims. I am very impressed with customer service because on my first claim I need assistance. I put the second claim in early this week and it has been processed already. So far I have had an excellent experience.
Highly Recommend for Peace of Mind!
I recently signed up for pet insurance, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service. The sign-up process was easy, and their customer service team was incredibly helpful in answering all my questions. Having a furry and no furry friend can be unpredictable, but knowing that I have coverage for accidents, illnesses, and even routine care gives me peace of mind. The claims process is simple and quick. Whenever my pet needs treatment, I can rest assured that the insurance will cover a significant portion of the costs. It's comforting to know that I won't have to choose between my pet's health and my finances. Overall, I’m so glad I made the decision to invest in pet insurance. I highly recommend it to any pet owner looking to safeguard their furry companion's health and well-being!

Very responsive
Very responsive! My two cats started having issues (ear infection, vomiting, heart murmur…) and I was getting quite anxious about the piling bills but Spot has been super fast reimbursing me (they say it can take up to 2-3 weeks but they took 1). Thank you Spot for supporting my kitties’ health!

Pet care isn’t cheap, and costs are only rising. In 2023, Canadians spent an estimated $9.3 billion1 on veterinary services alone, according to the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association. The annual cost of pet ownership now averages $4,2002 for dogs and $2,9003 for cats, based on data from the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association. These rising costs make pet insurance not just helpful—but essential.
Spot helps you manage those expenses with customizable coverage options, fast claims processing, and peace of mind knowing you’re pet is covered from nose to tail.

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.
