I’m very happy I chose Spot. …

I’m very happy to be a part of the Spot family. I was impressed that someone called me after I first signed up and welcomed me and my dog. She was very kind and explained how everything worked and when. Asked me if I had any questions and that if I do in the future not to hesitate to call.

Buyer beware!

Buyer beware! After paying Spot Pet Insurance for years, when our pet had to go to the emergency clinic, they refused to pay our claim even though we had 2 different veterinarians stating plainly (diagnosis and letters from the vets) that our dog had eaten something, then vomited, then aspirated some of the vomit, which caused aspiration pneumonia. They have steadfastly tried to get out of paying our claim despite what the vets said was an accident, insisting that they don't cover illnesses. They are trying to use a loophole to get out of paying the claim. Both vets clearly stated that pneumonia was SECONDARY to the accident and we have accident insurance. They are insisting the primary diagnosis was an illness, not an accident as the veterinarians diagnosed. This has cost us 4k and a whole lot of headaches going back and forth with Spot. Look elsewhere.

Amazing

I adopted my pup Marvin earlier this year and immediately looked into Pet insurance because I am a college student. after researching different insurance plans, Spot seemed like the best option. I am so glad i signed up with spot when I did because Marvin ended up not being able to keep any food which led to many expensive vet visits. Spot was very helpful and timely with my claims.
