Comparing Spot with others

Both our cats got sick at the same time. One has Spot, another has a different insurer. So we got to compare the difference in responses and ease of use. Spot was incredibly easy to use and kept us up to date on the status of the claim. Would absolutely recommend!

Hassle free

Great service with low deductible, high reimbursement options. It was super easy to submit my claim and I was reimbursed very quickly. I’m very satisfied and would def recommend!

Appeal

I had to submit an appeal for a claim that was denied. I spoke with a representative at SPOT and was told it was denied because it was classified as a pre-existing condition because of the symptom diarrhea was listed. I disagreed with this decision. The representative told me that no medical records had been requested and that I could file an appeal. I submitted an appeal and the medical records. After reviewing the appeal and medical records, my claim was reprocessed and was completed. I rated 4 stars because I thought the insurance company would have requested the medical records in order to make a better determination of the claim.

No regrets!

Before signing up with SPOT, I had done a lot of research of pet insurances and decided on SPOT because of the philosophy that they want pet insurance to become more mainstream to help reduce pet euthanasia due to owners being unable to afford vet bills. They also seemed to have quite comprehensive coverage, including some common issues with the particular breed of dogs that I own. This is my second year with SPOT and I have been very pleased with the coverage they have provided for both my boxer puppies. Unfortunately these two dogs happen to have multiple issues and are frequent flyers at my vet's office; one even needs prescription dog food. Having SPOT insurance has been a lifesaver to our bank account! It is easy to file claims online and reimbursements are direct deposited into my account. When I did have issues online or any questions, SPOT representatives have been very pleasant and helpful. I would highly recommend to any pet owner!
