Spot's Pet Insurance Plans with Illness Coverage
Illness Insurance for Pets
Illness coverage may be a perfect fit for the proactive pet parent who wants to help ensure their furry friend is covered in case of health hiccups. If you're the kind of pet parent who keeps a close eye on your pet's well-being, and wants help preparing for potential health issues, illness coverage may be a good fit for you.
Pet Insurance with Surgery Coverage
For the pet parent who wants to be ready for the unexpected, surgery coverage may offer an extra layer of protection. Whether your pet is a high-energy adventurer or a laid-back companion, this insurance coverage can help ensure you're equipped to handle life's surprises, so your pet can get back to their happy, healthy self in no time.
Pet Insurance with Prescription Coverage
Just like humans, pets can face health challenges that may require medication to help manage conditions, alleviate pain, or aid in recovery. With prescription coverage, you may have coverage for the eligible costs of necessary medications, helping you to focus on what truly matters: the well-being of your pet.
Is There Pet Insurance That Covers Everything?
The highest level of pet insurance coverage that people could get with Spot is an accident and illness plan with a preventive care add-on. This kind of pet insurance plan is useful because it can help cover both unexpected accidents and complications that stem from illnesses. On top of this, the preventive care add-on can cover eligible vet expenses related to routine care and wellness exams. Having this level of pet insurance helps you cover many vet expenses - both unexpected and routine.
Does Pet Insurance Cover Dental Illnesses?
Some illnesses have to do with your pet’s oral care. The amount of reimbursement a pet owner gets for dental care depends most on the level of care that they elect to get. For example, opting for the wellness add-on can help you cover many eligible vet expenses like regular dental checkups. On the other hand, those who opt for an accident-only plan may be reimbursed for some unexpected dental accidents.
What Can Illness Pet Insurance Cover?
Pet parents with accident + illness policies cover expenses for a wide range of conditions. Some examples of illnesses that can be covered by pet insurance plans include:
Skin, eye, & ear infections
Cancer & growths
Behavioral issues
Congenital & Hereditary Conditions
Dental illnesses
Coverage for Flea and Heartworm Medications
Our team understands that prevention is just as important as treatment, which is why our Platinum preventive add-on offers coverage for eligible flea and heartworm medications. By covering the eligible cost of flea and heartworm preventatives, we help you keep your pets protected and comfortable all year round.
Why Can Fleas be Dangerous?
Fleas pose significant dangers to dogs, going beyond mere discomfort and itching. These parasites can transmit serious diseases, such as typhus and tapeworms, which can lead to severe health complications. Additionally, the presence of fleas can lead to secondary conditions and contribute to a generally weakened immune system, making dogs more susceptible to other illnesses.3

Covered Most of an ER Vet Visit
I’ve had Spot Insurance for my two rescue dogs for some time and this was the first time I’ve needed to use it. The process was fairly straightforward and easy. As long as my rates aren’t jacked up (or worse, I’m dropped) now that I’ve made a claim, I’d rate the service as excellent.
Easy way to place a claim

I am very happy I chose SPOT insurance…
I am very happy I chose SPOT insurance for my beloved dog. I had my first experience submitting a claim. It was a great experience. As expected, I needed to submit the receipts for the veterinary treatment provided. Once I did not, within a couple of days SPOT deposited the money owed to me in my bank account. Happy customer!
Spot has been wonderful and timely
