Shelter dogs healthcare ruined permanently

This pet insurance company has deliberately misleading language in their online sign up process relating to waiting periods. They state that you may not file claims for any condition treated during the waiting period. This would mean claims would be denied if they took place during this period. I found out today that in reality any condition DISCOVERED during the waiting period will not only not be covered for the visit, but will also be logged a pre-existing condition for future denials, even though it occured after the start of the plan. Now with a 180 day term for a consideration of not being pre-existing, our dog has a monthly preventative prescription that will NEVER be covered because Spot relates to that keyword in her diagnosis. Furthermore I am now permanently stuck paying out of pocket with no insurance coverage since at this point these are now all 'pre-existing'. Absolutely heartless scam artists.

Spot Pet Insurance has a 14 day waiting period between the time you purchase the insurance and when you can actually use it. If this was mentioned up front I would NOT have signed up. Since my pet had an appointment in the waiting period it's going to be considered a "pre-existing" condition. I would have to wait 180 days to see if it would even be covered because of this. Pardon my French but this is completely BS. They thankfully will be refunding me my initial payment for signing up but now I'm out $360 for a rule that they were not transparent about. New pet owners, DO NOT GET SPOT!

Every time my dog needs to go to the vet for illness or check up I never have to worry. I just pay for it get a receipt and se d on to spot, I usually have my money back in three days. I have chosen 80/20 monthly cost is reasonable. I am so glad I find a good pet insurance for my dog.
