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 makes it very simple to place a claim with lots of options for doing so. I chose to use snail mail and have had no difficulty. Spot lets me know when they receive my claim, when they have processed the claim, and what the payment is. I find Spot a very good pet insurance and will recommend Spot to my friends.
Spot Pet Insurance is helpful!
I called Customer Service several times, and the customer service rep was helpful in figuring out the answer to my question. They covered things that I didn't think would be covered by my policy. It took a little bit of effort for me to submit all the info they required, but once that was done the process moved relatively quickly. Only issue was that the website didn't show updates to what was happening with my claim right away, but I was able to call Customer Service and they verified where we were in the process.
