Pet Insurance FAQs
Have questions about pet insurance and how it works? Let’s dig up an answer.
Is Pet Insurance More Expensive for Certain Breeds?
Pet insurance premiums can vary based on several factors; the pet’s age, breed, location, as well as the coverage selected for your plan, and your chosen deductible and annual limit.
Insurance providers take breed into account because different breeds can be prone to different health conditions.
Premiums may also change if you have multiple pets, and are able to receive a multi-pet discount.
Are There Any Age Limits?
There are no strict age limits with Spot Pet Insurance; pets can be covered from eight weeks old and up. This flexibility is ideal for older pets that other companies might not insure. If you don’t know your pet’s exact age, use your best estimate from medical records or shelter/rescue documents, or confirm their age by checking their medical history.
Can I Add Pets to My Account After I Already Enrolled if I Live in Delaware?
Certainly! Spot allows you to insure more than one pet, and offers a multi-pet discount that provides a 10% reduction on premiums for each additional pet after the first. This discount helps lower the expense of care for all your pets, helping make it easier to manage their insurance costs. Each pet added to your Spot plan qualifies for this discount.
