Upper Age Limits for New Enrollments
Before diving into other factors, if you’re a parent of an older pet, your pet may not qualify to enroll in Accident & Illness pet insurance plans provided by USAA. If your pet is 15 years old, or older, you will only have the option to enroll that pet in an Accident-only plan.
At Spot Pet Insurance, we know that older dogs and cats tend to experience more accidents and illnesses. Plans provided by Spot don’t have upper age limits.
Microchip Implantation Coverage
Microchipping technology helps pet parents find and reunite with their pets if their pet becomes lost. Microchip implants are covered by base plans provided by Spot.
With plans provided by USAA, microchip implantation coverage is only included with an added Wellness Rewards plan, that you can add to your base plan for an additional cost.
Spot's Base Plans Cover Exam Fees for Covered Conditions
Spot's base plans offer coverage for exam fees for covered conditions. With a plan from USAA, policyholders would need to pay for an add-on in order to get similar coverage.
Coverage for Rx Food and Supplements Prescribed to Treat Covered Conditions
Base plans provided by Spot include coverage for Rx foods and supplements when prescribed by a licensed vet to treat covered conditions (not for general maintenance or weight management).
For similar coverage with plans provided by USAA, you’ll need to purchase the added Wellness Rewards plan.

Reason for getting pet insurance
Reason for getting pet insurance. I was reluctant to get pet insurance but the dog we adopted was 9 years old at the time. Although her spaying wasn't covered, she was a breeding dog and needed to be spayed, most of her other charges have been covered which has been a godsend.

Very pleased with the simplicity of submitting claims and the timely refund . I purchased insurance for my weimaraner just in case something catastrophic were to happen. I opted for a high deductible and 20% co-pay. Unfortunately my dog became ill in Dec. and I don't have the added stress of dealing with all the vet bills. Highly recommend Spot Pet Insurance

I had a lot of trouble filing the recent claim on line. After several attempts I finally printed and sent through the postal mail. So not very happy with online claim process. However once you received the paper copies you processed in a timely manner and covered the items in the claim. Money has now been direct deposited.
