Reimbursements are real!
I submitted my vet bills and within 10 days or so I got an update on my account balances. Once deductible was met, I began getting reimbursements directly deposited! I never had pet insurance before, but im so glad I got this insurance for my dog now that he needs surgery.
Really helpful and prompt

Spot got the payment for my dog's…
Spot got the payment for my dog's emergency three weeks after the incident. He was bitten by a copperhead and wouldn't have survived without antivenom and several other drugs. I am very happy with their service.

Snoopy - 14 year old Shit Tzu
Snoopy was a 14 year old Shit Tzu, the star of our family. Suddenly, his hind legs wouldn't support him and he was rushed to Urgent Care and they recommended that he had to go to Emergency Care and get a Spinal Decompression Surgery. Also, this moved so fast that in a couple of days, his surgery was complete he was on his way to recovery. That was the first time I informed Spot Pet Insurance about this issue and submitted claims. All claims were reviewed and promptly approved. This has been a wonderful experience with Spot Insurance even though we couldn't even give them a heads-up of this major issue. Thank you for standing up for Snoopy even though he was a 14 year old. Unfortunately, Snoopy made good recovery for a couple of weeks after surgery, even got his stiches off but developed other complications with Pancreas and Liver and he passed away peacefully today. We wish Spot Insurance the very best and thank you for being there for Snoopy until the very end.
Smooth & Efficient Service
I've been using SPOT for about 4 years now. It's very easy to submit a claim with documentation and claims are always processed efficiently and fairly. Payments go straight to my bank account. I love how smooth the whole process is and would recommend SPOT to anyone.
Everything is easy
Everything is easy. From signing up to filing claims. Quick responses to all as well.
Cat Insurance FAQs
How Much is Cat Insurance?
Our cat insurance plans start at $9, but according to the North American Pet Health Insurance Association, on average, cat parents pay between $9 and $32 per month1.
What Factors Affect the Cost of Pet Insurance?
Your pet’s age, breed, and your location all play a role in the cost of their plan. The cost of your plan also depends on the base plan, deductible, annual limit, and reimbursement rate you select when enrolling your pet.
Is There a Discount on Pet Insurance for Multiple Pets?
Yes! As pet parents ourselves, we understand that the cost of care for multiple pets can quickly add up. With our multi-pet discount, pet parents automatically get 10% off the monthly premium for each pet enrolled after the first.
Is Cat insurance Worth It?
Every 6 seconds, a pet parent is faced with a vet bill of $1,000 or more2, but 2 in 3 pet parents say that they could not afford a vet bill of $1,000 or less if their pet needed lifesaving treatment3.
Spot plans help provide pet parents with financial support so that when it matters most, they can focus on their pet’s care, not the cost, helping bring peace of mind during difficult moments.

Under this combination, your pet plan coverage can include hospitalization, emergency care, prescription medication, hereditary conditions, tooth extractions, cancer, certain vaccines, wellness exams, and much more!

Yes! Take your pet to any licensed vet in the U.S. or Canada for your pet’s treatment. Once your claim is processed, the reimbursement comes directly to you through direct deposit or a check in the mail.
In Which States Can I Use My Met Insurance Plan?
Our coverage applies in all 50 states (and Canada)!
Do Indoor Cats Need Pet Insurance?
While indoor cats may be at a lower risk for certain health conditions, they can still fall sick or become injured. This is why we recommend enrolling your cat in a pet insurance plan regardless of whether they spend most of their time inside or outside.
Spot understands that every pet’s needs are different; so we offer plans with customizable coverage, allowing pet parents to build the plan that best fits the needs of their pet and their budget.
Can I Get Insurance for an Older Cat?
Spot plans have no upper limit on the age for your pets to be eligible for coverage. Usually, the older the pet is, the higher the risk of them developing an illness or injury, so Spot recommends you get pet insurance for your pet early on.
Does Cat Insurance Cover Food?
While non-medical supplies such as your cat’s food typically aren't covered under pet insurance, prescription foods prescribed by your veterinarian to manage a covered condition can be eligible for reimbursement.
Does Cat Insurance Cover Medication?
Yes! Our plans can reimburse the cost of medications and food prescribed to treat covered conditions, including cancer, diabetes, allergies, thyroid conditions, and more. To learn more about what our plans cover, view a sample policy.
Does Cat Insurance Cover Spaying and Neutering?
Our Platinum Preventative Care add-on reimburses up to $150 on spaying or neutering. To opt in, add the Platinum Preventative Care add-on to your base plan during enrollment. The add-on is $24.95 per month and has a total annual benefit of $450 reimbursed in routine care.
Does Cat Insurance Cover Vaccines?
Our wellness plan for an extra cost can help pet parents get cash back on the cost of select vaccines, including DHLPP, Bordetella, Rabies, Lyme, and/or Titer.
Does Cat insurance Cover Pre-existing Conditions?
Pet insurance cannot cover pre-existing conditions, but with a Spot plan, cured and curable conditions can be covered if cured and symptom-free for 180 days. This does not include knee and ligament injuries.

Pre-existing conditions
Conditions that start during a waiting period
