Peaches Loves Spot!

Have had Spot for my cat Peaches for 2 years now and the customer service has been consistently pleasant, submitting claims is easy, and MY LIFE is easier now that I can worry less about bills when I take her to the vet. Definitely recommend!

Great Services that Save You Money!

Spot has been incredible for me and my 2 cats Luna and Smokey. First of all, the customer service reps are the most helpful, kind people I've experienced before which is rare to find for an insurance company. Second, the claims and reimbursements have been EASY and FAST. I can't believe it took me this long to start getting insurance for my pets but wow am I glad I did. I tell all my pet-parent friends that insurance is a MUST. Thank you Spot for taking care of my babies.

Buyer beware!

Buyer beware! After paying Spot Pet Insurance for years, when our pet had to go to the emergency clinic, they refused to pay our claim even though we had 2 different veterinarians stating plainly (diagnosis and letters from the vets) that our dog had eaten something, then vomited, then aspirated some of the vomit, which caused aspiration pneumonia. They have steadfastly tried to get out of paying our claim despite what the vets said was an accident, insisting that they don't cover illnesses. They are trying to use a loophole to get out of paying the claim. Both vets clearly stated that pneumonia was SECONDARY to the accident and we have accident insurance. They are insisting the primary diagnosis was an illness, not an accident as the veterinarians diagnosed. This has cost us 4k and a whole lot of headaches going back and forth with Spot. Look elsewhere.

Amazing

I adopted my pup Marvin earlier this year and immediately looked into Pet insurance because I am a college student. after researching different insurance plans, Spot seemed like the best option. I am so glad i signed up with spot when I did because Marvin ended up not being able to keep any food which led to many expensive vet visits. Spot was very helpful and timely with my claims.
