Spot Vs. Lemonade Comparison
Is pet insurance right for you? The benefits are numerous, but situations vary widely from pet parent to pet parent. You have to consider whether your pets have the appropriate vaccines, whether they have pre-existing conditions, whether you’re interested in microchipping, and much more. Responsible pet owners also have to worry about neutering/spaying, preventative care, and occasional blood work. Vet bills can get high, especially if you have to handle multiple vet visits or hospitalizations.

Spot has given us support during very difficult times, they process claims quickly and customer service has been amazing when we needed them. Thank you Spot team!
Easy Process
I was new to the process and I asked for the forms to fax to Spot. Whenever I had a question, the answer was just a phone call away. I never had to wait when I called and everyone I talked to was eager to help. The money was deposited in my bank account the next week after the paperwork was faxed.
Processing was very fast
Processing was very fast! Thank you!
My experience has been acceptable until recently making them great
My experience has been acceptable with Spot until recently last month I lost my best friend of 8 years. Spot answered all my questions and concerns regarding his coverage and overall policy information. The representatives were very responsive and respectful. They didn't transfer me to 4 different people or place me on several holds during our conversation nor was I rushed off the phone like other companies. Even after the called ended I received a voicemail from a representative who informed me that she'd heard of my recent loss and the remorse in her voice was so genuine that it brought me to tears. Spot has made my experience with insurance vastly different.
SPOT on service!
This is my 3rd year with coverage for my 4yr old Boerboel. I got the coverage cuz she’s a giant dog breed. Last year I made my first claims for regular/preventative care and the claims were processed timely and with direct deposit. My girl had an unfortunate accident this year and needed a very expensive surgery for her torn Cruciate Ligament. I was scared that the underwriting would be scrutinized and a longer process BUT, it was also handled and reimbursed within a week! That was such a relief when your dog’s health and personal finances were in need. Great job SPOT. You truly are the best plan for man’s best friend.
I am very pleased with Spot Pet…
