Happy Pet Parents Trust Spot
Came through for us
We have made a half dozen claims for small amounts for our one year old large breed and only a couple times they were approved, sometimes after making reassessment appeals, which was disappointing and annoying. We thought we were going down the "pre-existing condition" rabbit hole. However, we recently had to make a four figure claim and it was approved in ONE day, which is quite surprising, in a good way. We appreciate this and will stick with them for now as they came through when we needed them to honor the Insurance we paid for.

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”.
How are My Premiums Calculated?
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.
What is a Pre-Existing Condition?
A pet’s illness or accident is considered pre-existing if the condition was onset before the 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.
Are Annual Check-Ups and Vaccines Covered? What About Spaying or Neutering?
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.
If you are interested in adding on this type of coverage for a little bit more each month, call to learn more about our optional wellness riders, available to add on to most Accident & Illness policies.
*Reimbursement is based on your pet's age at the time of enrollment and renewal.
