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.

Happy Pet Parents Trust Spot
Excellent service and an easy claim…
Excellent service and an easy claim process. Clear communication, helpful support, and great peace of mind for Mila’s care. Very satisfied with Spot Pet Insurance.
I am happy for the most part
I am happy for the most part. After my last claim was in the review process only took two days to complete. I did an appeal for Jake's first depomedrol injection, it was given initially for Jake's arthritis, but as an added benefit it helped his dermatitis and hip. The vet had written in the note you received that was only for his dermatitis, the Vet sent a corrected letter stating that the injection was given for his arthritis. This was acouple months ago, I never received the outcome and nothing was added toward Jake's deductible for his first injection. The injections after that were added towards the deductible. I would be very happy to it this could be resolved and the amount added towards Jake's deductible. Thank you

She was so helpful and I hope that if I have to contact Spot again, I get her to help me! Sorry, but I don’t have her name. 🥺 But she had an accent that was great!
