Why Do Pet Insurance Premiums Go Up?
Yes, sometimes pet insurance premiums can go up. These necessary increases provide you the opportunity to help get your pet the best medical treatment options available for eligible conditions. The premium increase is necessary to help keep up with the rising costs of veterinary care and inflation.
Additionally, your premium will be affected by your pet's age, as the risk for more costly claims grows higher. Spot strives to offer plans with coverage that continue well into your pet's old age by not placing upper-age limitations on coverage or enrollments.
Your premium will not increase due to filing a claim.
