Highly Recommend for Peace of Mind!

I recently signed up for pet insurance, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service. The sign-up process was easy, and their customer service team was incredibly helpful in answering all my questions. Having a furry and no furry friend can be unpredictable, but knowing that I have coverage for accidents, illnesses, and even routine care gives me peace of mind. The claims process is simple and quick. Whenever my pet needs treatment, I can rest assured that the insurance will cover a significant portion of the costs. It's comforting to know that I won't have to choose between my pet's health and my finances. Overall, I’m so glad I made the decision to invest in pet insurance. I highly recommend it to any pet owner looking to safeguard their furry companion's health and well-being!

Issues with reimbursement

Their website malfunctions often. In the past I have been reimbursed via direct deposit, but with my most recent claim, they issued it via cheque for some reason and 2 months later it still has not arrived. I have phoned multiple times and been told something different every time. They have told me they have reissued the cheque twice now, but it still has not arrived. The address of my account has been the same and is correct, so unless Canada Post is having issues delivering it to the right address, then there is something shady going on. According to their company policy, if a cheque is issued, they cannot cancel a cheque and reissue via direct deposit. This is a inflexible policy that should be overridden in circumstances when cheques are not being delivered and they cannot track the cheques as well. If I don't receive my reimbursement, I will be changing insurance companies. Please BEWARE folks.

Very responsive

Very responsive! My two cats started having issues (ear infection, vomiting, heart murmur…) and I was getting quite anxious about the piling bills but Spot has been super fast reimbursing me (they say it can take up to 2-3 weeks but they took 1). Thank you Spot for supporting my kitties’ health!
