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.

SPOT Delivered on Their Promise
I’ve had a great experience with SPOT Pet Insurance. Recently, my senior rescue cat needed a treatment that cost several thousand dollars. I submitted all the required records, and once SPOT received the documentation, my reimbursement was processed without any issues. What I appreciate most is that SPOT has not raised my premiums because of my cat’s age, unlike some other pet insurance companies. One company I contacted wouldn’t even cover pets over 13 years old. The condition my cat was treated for developed after she was enrolled, and SPOT honored the coverage as promised. The claims process was easy, the reimbursement was fair, and SPOT has not disappointed me. I highly recommend them to other pet owners.

I have not had a need to really use the insurance up until now. Our kitty is normally very healthy and happy. But, that seemingly changed in an instant that he was lethargic and not eating. Although the vet did not isolate the exact cause of the fever, the IV fluids and antibiotic brought him out of the illness. I am very thankful to Spot for standing with me during this ordeal. It was overwhelming.
Great company ! Never had a problem
Spot is very quick to respond to any submissions. Never had an issue with claims. Very good price - they are always fast and efficient responses!! Definitely recommend them! The price is even better if you go through sams club! Find it a great value for pet insurance and I have had a few different insurances.

No Regrets! AMAZING Experience and also my dog has the IQ of an artichoke..
Just...wow. So we got a lab puppy (ie: a vaccum cleaner with legs that barks) two years ago and remembering how I had to use funds in my 401K for my last pet for a surgery, I immediately purchased Spot Pet Insurance. It wasn't random: I researched, read reviews and thought this one would be best. And then for two years, I never used them. I paid auto deposit every month and just thought I'd be doing this until my blond tornado was 10 or so and needed something replaced (hips, knee, brain...he's a lab). Welp, being as he's a lab, he ate...something. We think a poison toad (he likes to carry frogs in his mouth from one side of the yard to the other and let them go--like a Frog Uber or something). And he got sick. REALLY sick. Like blood all over the carpets and refusing to eat ANYTHING sick (if you've ever had a lab, you understand why the eat refusal is cause for alarm). Our vet saw him and immediately sent him to Emergency Services where he spent most of the weekend. Had we not taken him, he would not have survived. But the bill...it was thousands of dollars. It was the vacation money we planned for next week. So I nervously filed my first claim with Spot, wondering if I would see anything. A week later: 80-percent of my entire bill is direct deposited into my account. All I did was upload the vet bill. No forms, no phone call, no accusations, no arguing, no requests for additional information: just approved immediately and paid immediately. So yeah-Spot gets five stars. I'd give them more but it's not allowed and also my dog would probably eat those too. Anyways--never been so happy to have a bill on auto pay in my life! Saved the day and my credit card! AND--we leave for that vacation in two days!
Spot has been amazing
Spot has been amazing! I tell people all the time to get SPOT pet insurance. I wish human insurance worked similarly. They are easy to work with and seem to share the love of animals just as we do. They really are here to help and do what's best for your pet! We highly recommend!
