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.

Always very nice on phone with any questions. When policy covers procedure done in a timely manner. Glad to be in the SPOT family.
A few tough weeks, Spot had our back!
A scheduled dental cleaning turned into the need for 3 dental extractions. Then we got some unexpected news about our pup, that he had elevated amylase levels and after sending away for further testing, we found out Rudy has potentially chronic pancreatitis. Only two weeks later, Rudy was attacked by a bigger dog while out on a walk. Thankfully his human dad was able to get him out quickly, but X-rays and antibiotics were a must. Rudy’s Spot insurance has helped us so much during this difficult time, and gave us some peace of mind covering his medical costs. Rudy is an huge part of our family and I definitely know I will have insurance for him and any other dog siblings he has in the future.
