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.
