Wellness Plan Differences: Spot Pet Plans vs. Prudent Plans
Wellness care for your pets is essential, but whether or not to include certain parts of wellness care in your insurance plan is another matter that can differ for each pet family.
Spot Pet Insurance and Prudent Pet Insurance both offer add-on wellness coverage options that can supplement a core Accident & Illness plan or an Accident-only plan for an additional cost. However, there are some key differences.
Base plans provided by Spot include coverage for microchip implantation. In order to get coverage for microchip implantation with Prudent Pet Insurance plans, you need to add on a wellness plan to your base plan for an additional cost.
Microchipping is a helpful way to find your pet should they become lost.
With the Gold Preventive Care Coverage add-on option offered by Spot, you are covered for up to $100 for dental cleanings annually, or $150 for dental cleanings annually with the Platinum Preventive Care Coverage option. See our preventive care coverage plan breakdowns for more details!
At Prudent, on the other hand, three levels of wellness coverage add-on options are available – low, medium, and high – and include $0, $40, and $60 of coverage, respectively, for dental cleanings annually. Prudent also requires pets to have routine dental exams to qualify receive reimbursement for dental illnesses.
Exam Fees For Covered Conditions Are Included in Base plans provided by Spot
At Spot Pet Insurance, the base plans we provide include coverage for exam fees for covered conditions.
In contrast, with Prudent Pet Insurance plans, you’ll have to purchase an additional add-on to get coverage for exam fees for covered conditions.
Prescription Food Coverage
Spot Pet Insurance plans include coverage for Rx food and supplements when they’re prescribed by a licensed vet to treat covered accidents and illnesses (not for general maintenance or weight management).
Prudent plans only cover Rx food when it is prescribed to treat existing bladder stones and crystals in urine.

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.
