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.

I highly recommend Spot!
I purchased accident and illness insurance for my dog in 2024. I didn't have any claims that year. However, this year I have already filed 2 substantial claims. The first was for a cardiologist evaluation and EKG, totally over $1,000. Spot allow all of that claim and reimbursed me about $360 ($500 satisfied my deductible and I received 80% of the remainder, as set forth in my insurance terms). The next claim was for a tooth extraction and dental cleaning for a total of over $1,600. Except for about $5 for "pet waste/taxes," Spot again allowed all the charges. I just got a check for about $1,330! (Numbers aren't precise but the refund is 80% of the allowable costs.) Filing claims is easy as is providing the additional information they may request. Both claims were paid within a couple of weeks. On 1 occasion, I had to reach out to their customer service and this too was a very favorable experience. While the premiums are high, the cost is offset if your pet has an accident or illness. I very much recommend Spot for your piece of mind!

Complete information makes all the difference!
I've had great results obtaining reimbursement when I am sure to submit the past 6 months of vet records along with invoices and claim information. It didn't go as well with the approach of "Don't have it? No worries, we will reach out to your vet." Those claims got denied most of the time. So, when you submit everything up front, and each item as its own claim, they do deliver and I'm happy to say that I've renewed the annual plan for both of my dogs.

The claim process was super simple to file and I was surprised how quickly I received my reimbursement.
This insurance is amazing
This insurance is amazing. My bulldog has had many vet visits and I couldn’t ask for a better pet insurance. It simple to use, so customer friendly. My policy covers exactly what they told me it would. No surprises and it’s well worth the money. Sticking with them.
Every pet owner should have pet insurance!
I appreciate the easy process to submit a claim and the prompt action in processing the claim from SPOT. I also like that they remit the approved amount directly into my account.
