Too new to confirm but good communication.

I have not had the need to use the insurance to date, but communication has been great and easy to understand thus far. I liked the ability to customize what I needed for insurance.

So far so good

So far, SPOT has been wonderful. We reviewed several pet insurance providers before deciding to sign up with SPOT as they cover everything (if not more) that other providers cover, for a cheaper premium. We’ve had one incident with our pup since enrolling with SPOT and their claims center was very user-friendly. Once we submitted the claim, SPOT did all the work to contact our vet to compete the claim.

I haven’t used them yet, so I can only comment on the product offering. Excellent coverages and rates. I’m happy to have piece of mind my puppy is covered! I even purchased the preventative care. Thanks Spot! I’ve already recommended 2 frie as who have also purchased policies.

I ended up paying about $2200 for…

I ended up paying about $2200 for dental extraction and cleaning for my older dog. After paying about $1200 in premiums I will only receive $150 back. That means that I ended up paying $3400 in total for the vet bill and pet insurance and will receive only $150 back. What I have found out after doing extensive research on pet insurance, is that its not worth it. Many insurances don't cover lab fees, x-rays or medications so when you end up paying a large bill you think you are going to get 80% back. That's not the case, make sure to look at what the insurance covers and their policy on preexisting condition. They will find any excuse to not cover majority of the cost, but what can you do? You already have to pay the full cost up front! and then you have to wait and see if some of it will be reimbursed?? If I had done better research I would have started a savings account where I could have put the same amount as the monthly premium into that account and made sure to have a credit card that I could use to cover the cost. I ended up paying an extra $1100 when I could have saved that money to pay towards my dog's dental procedure! They made an almost 100% profit. Pet insurance is definitely a scam. Much worse than having car insurance, only that with this you have a choice on whether to have it or not. Save your money and put it into a savings account for your pet!
