Great Customer Service

We got Spot for our flat coat Albus and we have been lucky enough that he hasn’t needed to use his accident coverage. We got the preventative package too and just got reimbursed for one of his wellness visits. Customer service has been great and submitting our claim was a breeze! We love Spot 🐶

CLAIMS NOT PROCESSED

Company never responds to claims. I placed 2 claims for my cat's treatment. Neither one has been processed. Nobody ever answers their phone. Put on permanent hold and left my phone number for call back which never happened. Never even received the promised gift card for signing up. Will report to the State Insurance Commissioner.

Happy that I chose Spoit

We bought Max home when he was 3 months. I did some research on pet insurance and went with SPOT in the same month. Had a good experience with them while shopping and they walked me over the policy and answered all my questions and did not push me at all. He started having allergies within 4 months and we had to take him to vet often for his medications. He also had some GI issues. I have filled all of my claims including prescription food and got good service with SPOT and got reimbursed for their part. I am able to afford and keep Max happy only because SPOT is supportive. Also when I contact their customer service, I get a good response and members are respectful and caring. I am happy that I chose SPOT. The only reason I gave 9 rating instead of 10 is the time for the claims to be processed. They do process within the said time and no delays so far but once we submit the claim, it just says processing and it is a waiting game. I wish we could have some updates so we know what is going on.

Counter Surfing Covered

I had no idea that counter surfing qualified as a behavioral issue, SPOT reimbursed me $500 for my dog's training! They also reimbursed me $2000 when my poor Lou ate tin foil out of the trash and had to get it removed by a vet. This is by far the best pet insurance on the market, I highly recommend everyone get SPOT!
