Accident-Only Plan Options
When you enroll in pet insurance, the biggest decision is which kind of plan you’ll choose. Every provider varies in terms of what kind of plans they offer and what is covered under each. Most offer an Accident & Illness plan; some offer Accident-only plans.
Many factors can influence your plan of choice, but having diverse and customizable options is helpful for finding exactly the right fit for you.
At Spot Pet Insurance, our highly customizable pet insurance plan options include an Accident-only plan option for those looking to spend less on premiums and get coverage for unexpected accidents only.
With MetLife, there is no Accident-only plan option available.
Microchipping coverage: Spot Pet Plans vs. MetLife Plans
Microchipping is a helpful way to locate and reunite with your pet should they become lost, which is why we believe it’s essential for pet parents.
Microchip implantation coverage is included with base plans offered by Spot Pet Insurance. Plans provided by MetLife only include coverage for microchipping as an optional add-on for an extra cost.
Base Spot Plans Include Coverage for Rx Foods Prescribed to Treat Covered Conditions
Base plans provided by Spot Pet Insurance include coverage for Rx foods and supplements when prescribed by a licensed vet to treat covered conditions (excluding general maintenance or weight management).
MetLife does offer coverage for Rx food, but only through add-ons for an extra cost.
Base Spot Plans Cover Behavioral Conditions
Spot's base plans include coverage for behavioral conditions.
But with a MetLife policy, you would need to purchase the wellness rider for behavioral conditions to be covered.
Multi-pet Discount Differences
Pet Insurance plans provided by Spot have a 10 percent multi-pet discount for each and every additional pet enrolled.
Big pet families are full of love, and sometimes they need extra love to help with the extra costs of keeping them well and healthy!
MetLife plans also offer multi-pet discounts. However, the multi-pet discount amount varies based on the number of pets you enroll.

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.
