What is an Accident in Pet Insurance?
An accident in pet insurance plans typically refers to unexpected injuries or incidents that result in harm to your pet. Pet accident-only insurance plans are designed to help manage the eligible costs of treating these sudden injuries, which can include emergency vet visits, surgeries, and related treatments. Spot knows that the unexpected can happen, which is why pet accident insurance that covers the unexpected can help make a difference for you and your pet.
Is Accident Only Coverage Worth It?
Our team at Spot understands that life can happen fast. Accident-only pet insurance plans can be worth considering for pet parents concerned about the financial impact of sudden unexpected injuries. Active pets, such as energetic dogs, adventurous cats, or pets that spend a lot of time outdoors, may particularly benefit from this type of coverage.
What is Not Covered in an Accident-Only Plan?
An accident-only plan typically does not cover illnesses, routine care, or preventive care services like vaccinations, wellness exams, dental cleanings, and chronic conditions. The accident only plan is focused on covering injuries resulting from unexpected accidents rather than general health maintenance or illness treatments. It is also important to note that pre-existing conditions are generally not covered.

Cats can benefit from accident-only pet insurance plans, particularly if they spend time outdoors. This type of insurance can help cover the eligible costs of unexpected injuries from incidents like falls, fights, or car accidents.
Does Accident-Only Pet Insurance Cover Illnesses?
Accident only pet insurance plans generally do not cover the cost of treatment for illnesses, as it is specifically designed to address injuries resulting from unexpected accidents. Illness coverage typically falls under more comprehensive plans such as Spot’s accident and illness plan which can cover treatment costs for covered infections, digestive issues, allergies, cancer treatments, chronic diseases like diabetes or kidney disease, and more.
