They Think We’re Pretty Cool:
Is Dental Coverage Worth It?
Dental coverage can help pet parents get back on expensive dental treatments, including:
Tooth extractions
Dental disease
Dental services like caps, crowns, and root canals
Dental cleanings
Do Dogs Need Dental Coverage?
Over 80% of dogs, 3 years and older, show signs or symptoms of dental disease4. In 2025, dog parents faced with vet bills for this condition pay over $1200*. With a Spot plan, pet parents can get up to 90% cash back on the cost of treatment for dental disease.
Do Cats Need Dental Coverage?
About 85% of cats over 6 years old are affected by periodontal disease5. With an average treatment cost of over $1100, cat parents can struggle when faced with such a high vet bill. Spot plans can help protect your pet and your wallet by reimbursing up to 90% of treatment costs for dental disease in cats.
Do Spot Plans Cover Pre-existing Dental Conditions?
Spot, like most other pet insurance companies, cannot cover pre-existing dental conditions. However, if a condition is curable, cured, and free of treatment or symptoms for 180 days, it will no longer be considered pre-existing and can be covered.

Excellent service and an easy claim…
Excellent service and an easy claim process. Clear communication, helpful support, and great peace of mind for Mila’s care. Very satisfied with Spot Pet Insurance.
I am happy for the most part
I am happy for the most part. After my last claim was in the review process only took two days to complete. I did an appeal for Jake's first depomedrol injection, it was given initially for Jake's arthritis, but as an added benefit it helped his dermatitis and hip. The vet had written in the note you received that was only for his dermatitis, the Vet sent a corrected letter stating that the injection was given for his arthritis. This was acouple months ago, I never received the outcome and nothing was added toward Jake's deductible for his first injection. The injections after that were added towards the deductible. I would be very happy to it this could be resolved and the amount added towards Jake's deductible. Thank you
