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.

My doggie injured his back right leg
My doggie injured his back right leg. I took him to his vet who recommended an exam, x-rays and meds. after all was said and done I received the bill. I submitted the bill to Spot and just in a couple of days I received payment in my bank account. They paid exactly what they said they would and showed it in detailed.
We really made the right decision in…
We really made the right decision in purchasing Spot pet insurance. This coming January Sadie will be 2 years old. We have had Spot insurance since May of 2024 paying $48 a month. 17 months at $48 paid $816 during this time Sadie had racked up $1,000’s in wellness and medical costs. Spot covered and reimbursed us 80% after a small yearly deductible. The very best decision we ever made purchasing Spot pet insurance. I was concerned when Sadie’s policy was renewed she would either be refused continuance of insurance or it would increase dramatically due to the claims we had especially the first year. Much to our surprise insurance continued and at the same premium! Spot insurance makes it very easy to submit a claim and the reimbursement in our opinion is reasonably quick with direct deposit. Spot insurance couldn’t make it any easier. I would highly recommend Spot insurance. Representatives are helpful and easy to work with.
