1. With Spot Pet Insurance plans, you can get your dog or cat’s exam fees for eligible conditions covered.
We’re committed to helping ensure that your pet gets the care they need when they need it — which is why you can rest assured that exam fees and vet visits for eligible conditions are covered by pet insurance plans provided by Spot.
2. Spot covers Rx foods and supplements used to treat eligible conditions
Both Spot plans and Healthy Paws plans cover prescription medications used to treat covered conditions, but Healthy Paws plans do not cover Rx foods or supplements used to treat covered conditions. Plans provided by Spot cover Rx foods and supplements used to treat eligible conditions (as long as a food or supplement is prescribed to treat an eligible condition and not for general health or weight maintenance).
3. Spot Pet Insurance provides Preventive Care Coverage.
Spot Pet Insurance offers an optional preventive care add-on that can be used to cover the routine veterinary costs that come with having a pet. Annual wellness exams, dental cleanings, vaccinations, and other services can be covered under a preventive care add-on. Healthy Paws does not offer preventive care coverage.
4. Spot plans cover behavioral problems.
Spot Pet Insurance accident & illness plans include coverage for behavioral problems.
5. If you enroll more than one pet, you get a discount with Spot Plans.
Unlike Healthy Paws plans, if you add on more than one pet in your family, you will be able to get a multi-pet discount. Spot Pet Insurance plans provide a 10 percent multi-pet discount for all additional pets.

Spot Pet Insurance was outstanding
Spot Pet Insurance was outstanding. The process to upload the vet invoice was easy, they quickly verified the information and within a week the full amount, less deductible of course, was deposited in our account. We couldn’t be happier with Spot.
Zeny
Zeny, a healthy Jindo dog, suddenly began suffering from seizures when she turned four, requiring four emergency visits over the course of seven months. These situations were quite distressing, and each visit cost over $800; Spot Pet Insurance covered a portion of the expenses. Most recently, she had to go to the emergency clinic again due to a leg injury; the bill came to $641.73, and I received a check for $440.59 from Spot Insurance. I’m glad I signed up with Spot Insurance; they are highly trustworthy, kind, and responsible.
Thankful and grateful …
Having Spot has literally saved my Rotti's life ! He had urinary problem ; took him to our vet and we found out his situation was more serious then we could have ever imagined. He had xrays and tests and turned out he needed the help of a specialist ,he had over 100 bladder stones .We would have sold everything to save him ; his surgery and care was almost $8000 by grace of God we had Spot. We of course paid the bill and his coverage guaranteed 80% of that monies back .I will never go without Spot to cover all my furbabies needs.
Jackie and Rocky
We adopted 2, 13 month old kittens (bonded brothers) and one was the "runt of the litter". The bigger one fell off a desk backwards onto a glass compote, breaking one vertebrae and cracking another. Fortunately he was able to walk, and didn't lose any functions. He did have to "crated" for 8 weeks to limit his mobility and heal. They both have had asthma issues, the little guy more so and more often. We are thankful that we have had coverage that actually pays for 80% of the emergency room and Vet bills.
