Q: 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”.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Cheques of reimbursements arrived in…the mail

Cheques of reimbursements arrived in the mail regularly after my kitten received treatments for her disease. Just a short period to be assessed. But I had send a VOID cheque and did hope for automatic payments to my chequeing account ( would have been faster/ shorter wait ).

We recently joined Spot pet insurance…

We recently joined Spot pet insurance and within a few months our pet had a $1700 Vet bill which Spot initially paid $900. Our vet office made a mistake in how they wrote up the bill so they corrected it and we sent it back in for reassessment , Spot covered almost the entire bill. Very happy and the payment was quick. Pleased, would definitely recommend. As Vet bills have become so expensive, I really think that pet insurance is a must have these days..
