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.

Exactly What Was Promised

I have had Spot for my kitty, Blue, for almost a year now and have been pleasantly surprised how seamless it has been. Every claim I've submitted is completed promptly and there have been multiple instances when I've contacted customer service with questions and they are helpful and friendly as can be! We recommend Spot to all of our pet friends!

Ear infection

Gunner got an ear infection in May and in August got a sore by privates and feet bothered him and end of August another ear infection. Then he was diagnosed w allergies by vet August 24th, 2022. They told me he had allergies from May w/o vet diagnosis. Isn't that convient to blame everything on his 1st ear infection as allergies before a vets diagnosis. Wish I never would have believed the rating and their sweet talk to join their company. Now I'm stuck and can't go anywhere else. Bad company politics.
