Reasons to Consider Spot Plans Over Pets Plus Us Plans
1. Pets Plus Us Has a 48-Hour Waiting Period for Accidents. Spot Doesn't.
When you enroll your pet in a Spot plan, their accident coverage begins the next day — there's no waiting period for accident coverage from your policy's effective date. With a plan from Pets Plus Us, accident coverage only begins after a 48-hour waiting period.
2. Pets Plus Us' Multi-Pet Discount Doesn't Start Until 3 Pets. Spot's Multi-pet Discount Starts at 2 Pets.
Your furry friends are family, and Spot Pet Insurance wants to help you care for them all. We offer a 5% multi-pet discount on each pet when two pets are enrolled, and 10% off each pet when you insure three or more. Pets Plus Us doesn't offer a multi-pet discount on just 2 pets enrolled — you'll need to enroll at least 3 pets to get their multi-pet discount.

My first claim went very smoothly
My first claim went very smoothly! The staff are very helpful if you have any problems. Very happy with spot pet insurance and to know they are a Canadian company!
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!
