Review of Spot Pet Insurance

In your review of Spot Pet Insurance, you mention pre-existing conditions. We have had two claims disallowed due to definitions by Spot which have no clinical basis. The first occurred following dental procedures on our Sheltie. Her mouth is too small for all teeth and some were extracted. Spot disallowed the claim because, during a previous exam the vet noted in the medical record that the dog had a grade one dental condition - meaning there was tartar on the teeth. Spot said grade 1 indicated "severe dental disease" and disallowed the claim. Grade one is on a scale of 1-4. Spot has failed to provide their scoring algorithms. The second denial was again based on Spot's definition of a pre-existing condition. Thirty months ago, our Sheltie had an adverse reaction of the skin to a conditioner used following shampoo during grooming. Subsequently, we have instructed groomers not to use any conditioning products and there have been no issues. Earlier this month the same dog was treated for an ear infection. Spot disallowed the claim due to pre-existing conditions. Despite no entry in the medical record to support their decision, Spot determined that the ear infection was caused by the same "allergies" that caused the skin reaction thirty months ago. I believe this is a fraudulent way to avoid paying claims. Please add this practice to the "Cons" of Spot Pet Insurance.
