How do Pawp Memberships function?
Pawp memberships are essentially emergency funds for pets. After you sign up, there’s a 14-day waiting period. After the waiting period is over, you have a $3,000 fund that you can use for emergency treatment.
To use the fund, one of their specialists (whom you can call using a 24/7 telehealth service) has to give your dog or cat a virtual exam to determine if there is a real emergency. The specialist will need to confirm that there is an emergency in order for the membership coverage to apply.
Pawp will pay the vet directly for the eligible vet services, so you don’t need to worry about paying unless the emergency exceeds the $3,000 limit.
As part of enrollment for the Pawp membership, you have to pay a monthly fee of $24. If you like having many animal friends around, Pawp memberships will cover up to 6 pets.
Spot Pet Insurance plans can cover multiple emergencies
The Pawp membership emergency fund can only cover one emergency per year. The first emergency covered is the only emergency that can be covered during that year of your membership, even if you don’t use all $3,000.
At Spot Pet Insurance, we know that sometimes your pets can have multiple emergencies a year. It’s a big world out there; some animals have a knack for getting into trouble. Pet insurance plans provided by Spot do not limit coverage to one eligible condition per year.
Some pets also have hereditary or congenital conditions that may need continuous treatment or may take multiple appointments to manage. These expenses would not be covered by a PawP emergency fund.
We also offer a 10 multi-pet percent discount for all additional pets, so you have help saving some money to help improve your four-legged family’s quality of life.
You can add preventative care coverage to Spot plans
We take your pet’s health and happiness very seriously and know that sometimes offense is the best defense. That’s why we offer preventative care coverage add-ons for a little extra cost.
With preventive care coverage added to an accident and illness plan, you can be reimbursed for certain routine wellness treatments that help prevent your pup or kitty from getting sick. Covered services include; annual wellness exams, vaccines, dental cleanings, and other services.
Pawp memberships do not provide coverage options for preventive care treatments. Although, you can use their pet telehealth line to speak to a licensed vet or vet tech.
Spot plans take a holistic approach to health
Although Pawp memberships cover emergency visits, they don't cover any follow-up visits or rehabilitation for the same condition once the initial emergency visit is over. Some emergencies won’t require care after the initial hospital visit. Other times your pet may need physical therapy or another form of rehabilitation to get back to their old self.
At Spot Pet Insurance, we are aware that your pet can need many forms of treatment for accidents and illnesses, from alternative therapies to rehabilitation. Some of the alternative therapies that are prescribed to treat covered conditions that Spot plans can cover include:
Hydrotherapy
Chiropractor visits
Acupuncture
We want to make sure your pet feels great in both mind and body, so pet insurance plans provided by Spot also cover behavioral issues.
Keeping your pet healthy and happy
As a pet parent, you know accidents happen, and because you're taking the time to research providers, you’re already well on your way to being prepared. You know your pet’s needs best, so ultimately, it’s your decision as to what you choose.
We hope to assist you further by providing a pet insurance plan that you can tailor to your pet's needs. We also have plenty of resources for pet parents looking to learn more about being a good parent to their dog or cat. We also have more pet insurance comparisons for you to check out.

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.
