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”.

In general, your premium is based on your pet’s age, your pet’s breed, and where your pet lives. Some other factors that impact your premium are the plan you choose, if you have included preventative care coverage or not, and the discounts for which you are eligible.

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.

Routine and preventative care treatments, such as annual wellness check-ups, vaccines or other treatments such as spaying and neutering or dental cleanings are not part of regular Accident & Illness plan coverage and are not available with an Accident plan’s coverage.
