Pet accident-only insurance plans may be useful for pet parents concerned about potential unexpected injuries their pets might experience. Spot’s accident-only plan can help manage the covered costs of emergency vet visits, surgeries, and other treatments resulting from unexpected accidents. 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. 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 and symptoms that occur during the waiting period are generally not covered.
Do Cats Need Accident Coverage?
Cats can benefit from accident-only pet insurance plans, particularly if they spend time outdoors. This type of insurance plan can help cover the eligible costs of unexpected injuries from incidents like falls, fights, or car accidents.
What is the Waiting Period for Accident - Only Insurance?
The waiting period is the time between when policy coverage starts and when you can start using it for certain conditions. Spot Pet Insurance has a 14-day waiting period in most states.
Refer to your policy documents for information about waiting periods in your state.
Does Accident Only Pet Insurance Cover Illnesses?
No, Accident only pet insurance is a base level plan that only covers unexpected incidents. However, Spot’s accident and illness plans are geared towards helping pets that get involved in unexpected accidents along with some illness that your pet is experiencing.
Does Pet Insurance Cover Car Accidents?
Yes pet insurance can help cover car accidents. Some pet insurance plans, like our accident-only plan, can handle eligible future vet expenses resulting from an unexpected incident like a car accident. You should also note that coverage begins after the waiting period.
Examples of Pet Accidents

What Can be Covered in Accident & Illness Pet Insurance?

Pet insurance is worth it!
Pet insurance is worth it because it has been helping me with my budget. I know Toffee the small dog needs his own pet insurance in his life.
I was A Skeptic about pet Insurance.
When I signed up for SPOT Insurance, I was skeptical about pet insurance. I finally decided to at least try it to avoid any catastrophic emergency coverage at an ER. The basic trips to the Vet are doable, but emergencies can really be expensive. Anyway, I didn't use my insurance UNTIL one of my cats had an emergency. The Claim process was easy and the reimbursement was excellent. Everyone should be covered and SPOT was Great!!!
Thank you Spot
My dog became severely ill, was hospitalized, and did not get better. We unfortunately had to put her down to ease her pain and it was the hardest thing we ever had to do. To deal with that and the financial burden at the same time would’ve been a nightmare, but thankfully we had Spot insurance. I filed a claim and it was approved in 9 days, no questions, no issues. It was a huge relief for my family and I, and it truly allowed us to mourn without worrying about finances. We are extremely grateful.
