Pet Insurance
Made Easy

Pet insurance can put money back in your pocket for veterinary costs needed to diagnose, treat, and manage an eligible condition. Exams and rechecks, x-rays, ultra-sounds, bloodwork, surgeries, stitches, medication, and prescriptions, and even prescription diets are all examples of costs that can be claimed for if they are used to treat or diagnose a covered condition.

Most Spot Pet Insurance programs don’t offer dental coverage. For full details about what types of dental treatments can and cannot be covered, please review the terms and conditions of your plan.

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.

You can enroll puppies as young as 8 weeks of age and adult pooches up to 10 years old. Kittens may be enrolled as young as 8 weeks of age and cats up to 12 years old. Once your pet is enrolled, they can stay on their Spot policy for life.

Dogs 12 and over and cats 13 and older can be enrolled in an Accident policy.

In cases where you don't know your pet's age, please estimate based on available medical records, shelter or rescue documentation.

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.
