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.

Thank God for Spot Pet Ins
Diesel my 7 year old Chihuahua became quite ill on Friday May 29th. He stopped eating and drinking. That night he began scream-crying due to horrific pain. Sat morning he couldn't lift his head. I thought he was dying. I took him to an Emergency Animal hospital. X-ray showed a small square object in his stomach. Once surgically removed, the vet noticed irritation on his intestine. She opened to find a foreign object blocking any bowel movement. My vet bill was $4213.61. Submitted a claim on June 1 and received payment on June 11. After deductible, Spot Pet covered 80%. My cost: $1242.72. Thank God for Spot Pet insurance. Thank you! Thank you!
So happy I chose Spot!
I have no complaints at all about Spot pet insurance! I've had dogs for most of my life and this is the first time I have bought pet insurance. I'm so glad that I chose Spot and we couldn't be more pleased with their service! The claim process is simple and completed in a very timely manner.

SPOT Delivered on Their Promise
I’ve had a great experience with SPOT Pet Insurance. Recently, my senior rescue cat needed a treatment that cost several thousand dollars. I submitted all the required records, and once SPOT received the documentation, my reimbursement was processed without any issues. What I appreciate most is that SPOT has not raised my premiums because of my cat’s age, unlike some other pet insurance companies. One company I contacted wouldn’t even cover pets over 13 years old. The condition my cat was treated for developed after she was enrolled, and SPOT honored the coverage as promised. The claims process was easy, the reimbursement was fair, and SPOT has not disappointed me. I highly recommend them to other pet owners.
I have not had a need to really use the…
I have not had a need to really use the insurance up until now. Our kitty is normally very healthy and happy. But, that seemingly changed in an instant that he was lethargic and not eating. Although the vet did not isolate the exact cause of the fever, the IV fluids and antibiotic brought him out of the illness. I am very thankful to Spot for standing with me during this ordeal. It was overwhelming.
Great company ! Never had a problem
Spot is very quick to respond to any submissions. Never had an issue with claims. Very good price - they are always fast and efficient responses!! Definitely recommend them! The price is even better if you go through sams club! Find it a great value for pet insurance and I have had a few different insurances.
