Very responsive to our claims and quite adequate reimbursement. The premiums keep going up each year without notification. Had 1 glitch where the form auto fills the date of onset which is incorrect and resulted in a refusal of my claim. This was appealed and I was reimbursed but the autofill issue remains. Overall good coverage.

Spot pet insurance can do better in terms of working closer with service providers (vet clinic, pet hospitals, etc.) to let them submit the claim documents related to diagnoses and treatment of the pets on behalf of the pet owners. So the providers get paid directly from the Spot insurance company, like others do.
