They Think We’re Pretty Cool:
Does Pet Insurance Cover Behavioral Issues?
Yes, some pet coverage plans can cover behavioral issues. While coverage can vary depending on the specific plan and provider, it’s possible that your plan might include support for behavioral concerns. Because we’re all about love and care, we encourage pet parents to explore their options and choose what feels right for their furry friend’s well-being.
What Kinds of Behavioral Issues Can Some Pet Insurance Plans Cover?
Pets, much like people, can experience a range of behavioral challenges that might need a little extra care and attention. Common issues that pet parents often encounter include anxiety, which can show up as excessive barking, destructive chewing, or even withdrawal. Aggression is another concern, whether it’s directed at other animals, people, or objects, and it can be a source of stress for both the pet and the family. Additionally, some pets may develop compulsive behaviors, like repetitive licking, tail-chasing, or pacing, which can be difficult to manage without guidance. Pet insurance for behavioral problems can help you cover the costs associated with training your pet to help alleviate these issues.
Why is Mental Health Care for Pets Important?
Focusing on mental health care for pets can help play a key role in supporting their long-term well-being and happiness. Pet owners might not always notice the early signs of anxiety or depression in their pets, but even small changes—such as lethargy, shifts in appetite, or altered sleep patterns—could indicate an underlying issue. Recognizing and addressing these subtle signs can help make a significant difference in your dog's quality of life.
How Much Does Pet Insurance for Behavioral Problems Cost?
Your Spot Pet Insurance premium will depend on many factors like where you live, along with your pet’s species, breed, and age, which can all play a role in determining premiums. The reimbursement percentage, annual deductible, and annual coverage limit you choose will also influence costs. At Spot Pet Insurance, we’ve made these options customizable so you can find a plan that feels just right for your pet’s needs and works with your monthly budget.

Does Behavioral Coverage in Pet Insurance Cover Anxiety Medication?
Yes, behavioral pet insurance can help you cover eligible vet costs associated with anxiety medication. Spot plans can help you cover expenses related to training for anxiety, aggression, and other compulsive behaviors. Whether or not anxiety medication is covered by your pet insurance plan depends on things like your waiting period and the terms of your policy.
Is Anxiety Covered by Pet Insurance?
Yes, pet insurance can help cover eligible vet costs associated with your pet's behavior, which can include anxiety medication treatment. For example, some dogs may exhibit destructive behavior and distress thanks to their anxiety, which may necessitate the need for training or medication. In some cases like these, pet insurance can help you cover eligible expenses related to treatment.
Does Pet Insurance Pay for Behavioral Modification?
Behavioral modification is a word used to describe training for behavioral problems. Behavioral therapy is covered under the base plan and does not need the wellness add-on to be covered. Some examples of behavioral modification training include counterconditioning, desensitization, and response substitution.
Does Pet Insurance Cover Obedience Training?

We really made the right decision in…
We really made the right decision in purchasing Spot pet insurance. This coming January Sadie will be 2 years old. We have had Spot insurance since May of 2024 paying $48 a month. 17 months at $48 paid $816 during this time Sadie had racked up $1,000’s in wellness and medical costs. Spot covered and reimbursed us 80% after a small yearly deductible. The very best decision we ever made purchasing Spot pet insurance. I was concerned when Sadie’s policy was renewed she would either be refused continuance of insurance or it would increase dramatically due to the claims we had especially the first year. Much to our surprise insurance continued and at the same premium! Spot insurance makes it very easy to submit a claim and the reimbursement in our opinion is reasonably quick with direct deposit. Spot insurance couldn’t make it any easier. I would highly recommend Spot insurance. Representatives are helpful and easy to work with.
