Happy Pet Parents Trust Spot
Easy to deal with insurance company.
Spot pet insurance has been very easy to deal with so far. They completed my claim within just a couple of days. Highly recommend.
Easy to Use
Maybe they will have direct billing in the future, but it was easy to upload/email the invoices and veterinary notes. Reimbursement was sent within a week. The only thing I disliked was having to call poison control, which charges in USD. Since they don't do conversions, they only paid what it was in Canadian dollars.

10/10, no notes
I have zero complaints about Spot. In fact, I swear by them and strongly recommend. They process the claims really efficiently; one time, I submitted a quote for pre-approval on a Wednesday night and on Thursday morning I had the pre-approval letter. It’s very easy to get someone on the phone too and they’re all helpful and friendly.

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 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.
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.
