Easy to work with

Oh goodness, I just realized I gave Spot my Healthy Paws review...that was terrible. SPOT processed my claim for routine services very quickly and the claims submittal process is very easy. The ability to customize care/deductible/yearly max is great and makes it fit into our budget, especially when paying for multiple pet insurances. For anyone looking for insurance, this is a good company but stay clear of healthy paws unless you like things being more difficult than they should be.

Best Experience Ever!

My lil guy recently had to have emergency surgery to remove a foreign body, very expensive, over $6k in total. I called Spot to verify everything they would need to process the claim. They were very empathetic about my situation and provided clear instructions as to everything they would need. The process to submit the claim was very easy and straightforward- my claim was approved and processed with the money deposited in less than a week. I would give 6 stars if I could, highly, HIGHLY recommend!!

Preventative Puppy Poo

I purchase a plan including a puppy prevention package that was to pay out a set amount for certain things. Example: $25 for dewormer $50 for a puppy wellness exam $25 for a bordetella shot etc. Twice I submitted receipts showing my puppy was given a dewormer and Spot Insurance did not reimburse me the $25. Dates are December 12,2024 and January 3,2025.

Spot "Family" is heartless and worthless

We recently switched to Spot Pet Insurance from a different insurance logo owned by the same company - Independence Pet Holdings - because Spot offered an affordable monthly premium for our middle-aged beagle. All of Spot's customer service initially seemed warm and inviting. Turns out they are just as heartless as you would expect from any private equity-owned insurance company who is just looking to make money off of careful pet owners. Just like many other pet insurers do, Spot Pet Insurance promptly denied our first claim we submitted as a pre-existing condition, but in this case, we have been paying premiums for years to Hartville, which is literally part of the same company that reports to the same CEO and has the same insurance underwriter - Independence Pet Holdings. So even though this company has been paid by us for years, and even though we have no diagnosis for our dog yet, Spot promptly wrote us off as having a pre-existing condition without further ado. Truly so frustrating when you are just trying to do the right thing and seek insurance for your family member. We are now canceling our policy and going the route of a savings account for pet costs.
