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.

13/10 would recommend!!!
I normally don't leave reviews, but I very much felt the need to do so. I switched my pets from Banfield to Spot after MONTHS of research. I mean literally 6 months of research of who had the best coverage, who had the best price, etc. I decided to go with Spot because they offered the most coverage for such a great price. The reason I wanted to write a review was because I recently lost one of my dogs and as I was waiting for Spot to approve everything, I get an email from them saying how sorry they were about the loss of my baby boy Roscoe. I also noticed that they said because of the time-frame of which he had passed (it lapsed into a new month), they weren't going to charge me for that new month and they were going to cancel it for me but if I had any other paperwork to submit that I could do so. It was truly so effortless and a weight off my shoulders not having to deal with all that with the sudden loss of Roscoe. My experience with Banfield was quite the opposite when I lost my dog Benji, it was like fighting tooth and nail with them. Spot made it so easy, I was able to grieve over the loss of my baby without having to deal with the phone calls, the holds and lets be honest, the bs that comes with trying to cancel insurances. They even called me a week later to check in to see how me and Roscoe's littermate Hodor were doing. I really cannot recommend Spot enough!

Best Experience Upon the Death of Our Cat
I bought pet insurance months ago not knowing what to expect. Our cat unexpectedly passed away due to an undiagnosed condition. Prior to this we had no claims submitted. I wasn't expecting much from the insurance but the submission was very easy for his end of life expenses. And their response to our cat's death was so very kind. They called me, sent a message via email, and we received a wonderful card. They proactivley cancelled the insurance which saved us time and future unnecessary charges. We love cats and will be adopting one again soon, and Spot Pet Insurance will definitely be a part of our life. Thank you to all at Spot for your kindness and sympathy during this time.
The Payment was fast!
The Payment was fast to my account and explanation of benefits paid were clearly written.

I have done two claims through Spot in last 5 years, both over$1500 and other than my deductible they paid to the dime the amount I expected. Claim processed in a week and the first one was received in the 5-10 days by mail as they said and the second claim check I should get this week. Other than my own shortfalls of uploading the documentation the process was seamless. I was unable to find my Credit Union on their site so had to do mail. I spoke to them by phone in which staff answered quickly, gave me additional options on submitting the claim. Also the staff was very sympathetic about my dog. ❤️

The Meaning of Good Customer Service
My overall experience with Spot Pet Insurance is amazing!! I’m using this adjective to describe them because on the wonderful service (s) the provider for my little furry family member. Some insurance companies will let you go on paying for services you don’t need any longer. When it was time for my renewal the rep really help me in my decision. When you file a claim they are very prompt in paying with no hassles. I’m so happy I selected this company, I’m very happy with them!!!!
They wanted to help
I was having a lot of trouble trying to submit a claim. Your representative knew just what to do. The claim was submitted and processed that week.
