Fast, affordable, with no hassle! Great Pet Insurance company!
I am extremely happy with spot pet insurance. I have tried multiple pet insurance companies...and this is by far the best. Submitting claims with the others was painful and tedious... It took weeks to receive any type of refund. I paid thousands and thousands into 24pet watch Canada for my dogs entire life...only to have to fight tooth and nail for pennies back. I've only been with Spot Canada for 9 months or so...and received full refunds for emergency care within a couple of days... Submissions are beyond easy to complete. I totally recommend them. Better rates then I paid in the past, fast refunds, easy submission forms... Nobody wants to worry about how they are going to afford their next vet visit. Spot makes things easy and worry free. Totally recommend!
