Top Reasons to Consider Spot:
Spot Pet Insurance Plans vs. Nationwide Pet Insurance Plans: Age Limits
Nationwide does not accept new enrollments of dogs and cats over ten years old for Nationwide Major Medical plans and Feline Select Plans. Also, pets must be a minimum age of one year old to enroll in Whole Pet with Wellness plans.
Spot plans don’t have upper age limits, and pets just need to be eight weeks old to enroll.
Microchip Implantation is Covered in Spot's Base Plans
Microchip implantation is covered in Spot's base plans. Microchips help to increase the chance that you and your pet will be reunited if they ever become lost or stolen. We want to help make sure that your pet is able to come home again.
With a Nationwide plan, microchip implantation is only covered if you add wellness coverage to your plan, which costs an additional fee.
Nationwide plans’ 5 Percent Multi-pet Discount vs. Spot Plan's 10 Percent Multi-pet Discount on All Additional Pets
Do you have multiple pets? If so, you’re going to want to learn more about the difference between the plans provided by Spot and Nationwide.
With Nationwide plans’ multi-pet discount, you get a 5 percent discount on added policies for a second and third pet. When you add your fourth pet with Nationwide plans, you get a 10 percent discount on that policy and any added beyond that.
With Spot's multi-pet discount, all additional pet policies get a 10 percent multi-pet discount. Yes, it’s really that easy to help ensure that all of your family’s pets are protected and cared for.
10-Day Money-Back Guarantee vs. 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
When you enroll in a Nationwide policy, you have a 10-day window that you can get your money back, should you change your mind.
Spot plans’ money-back guarantee period is 30 days, giving you more time to feel comfortable in your decision. The 30-day money-back guarantee is available if no claims have been covered, but it is not available in NY.
We want you to be happy and confident in your decision to enroll in a plan provided by Spot.

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.
