I could not be happier with Spot…

I could not be happier with Spot insurance. This is the first time we purchased pet insurance and we opted for the Gold plan and $500 deductible. Our 2 1/2 year old cat lost a large amount of weight and after a thorough workup, we had a diagnosis and plan for treatment. The meds alone were $600 for 6 weeks. We opted for aggressive care based on the age of the cat and hoping insurance would respond appropriately. I could not be happier! I started the claim the day my cat was discharged, we were waiting on two lab results before the vet released medical records. Within a day of getting the vet records,SPOT sent a claim notice paying 80% of the bill minus deductible and items such as postage there are not covered. I am amazed at their response!! This is better than my own health insurance and this is from a nurse's perspective. Thank you SPOT!!!! My cat is slowly improving and such a special little fellow to me.

13/10 would recommend!!!

I normally don't leave reviews, but I very much felt the need to do so. I switched my pets from Banfield to Spot after MONTHS of research. I mean literally 6 months of research of who had the best coverage, who had the best price, etc. I decided to go with Spot because they offered the most coverage for such a great price. The reason I wanted to write a review was because I recently lost one of my dogs and as I was waiting for Spot to approve everything, I get an email from them saying how sorry they were about the loss of my baby boy Roscoe. I also noticed that they said because of the time-frame of which he had passed (it lapsed into a new month), they weren't going to charge me for that new month and they were going to cancel it for me but if I had any other paperwork to submit that I could do so. It was truly so effortless and a weight off my shoulders not having to deal with all that with the sudden loss of Roscoe. My experience with Banfield was quite the opposite when I lost my dog Benji, it was like fighting tooth and nail with them. Spot made it so easy, I was able to grieve over the loss of my baby without having to deal with the phone calls, the holds and lets be honest, the bs that comes with trying to cancel insurances. They even called me a week later to check in to see how me and Roscoe's littermate Hodor were doing. I really cannot recommend Spot enough!
