Active pets, adventurous animals, or those living in hazardous environments can particularly benefit from this plan, helping provide you with some peace of mind in case of sudden mishaps.

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. Accident coverage is 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 Pet Insurance 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.

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.
