5 Reasons Spot Pet Plans May Be the Best Fit for Your Pet
1. Furkin only offers accident coverage
Spot offers both accident-only and accident and illness coverage so pet parents can choose the plan that best fits the needs of their pet.
2. Furkin plans do not help cover the cost of treatment for behavioral issues.
Spot plans can help cover up to $1,000 each year for alternative therapies, including behavioral therapy to treat a covered condition.
3. Furkin offers a multi-pet discount of 5%
Spot understands that the cost of caring for a large pet family can quickly add up. Pet parents with 2 pets enrolled can enjoy a 5% discount – applied to both their plans. This multi-pet discount increases to 10% for pet parents with 3 or more pets.
Spot also offers an additional 5% off for microchipped pets.
4. Furkin does not offer pet parents discounts on other pet supplies like food or toys.
Spot’s Perks program offers pet parents up to $1,500* in savings on pet essentials from food and medication to accessories like pet cameras, toys, and even dog tv.
5. Furkin can reimburse up to 80% of covered vet bills.
Spot pet plans can reimburse up to 90% of covered vet bills1, helping maximize cash back for pet parents. This way, families can focus more on what matters most – getting pets the care they need to live happy and healthy lives.

Happy Pet Parents Trust Spot
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!
