Claim processing was quick and easy

The claim process was easy and quick. After focusing on caring for our cat after his tail surgery, we filed our claim. Received immediate confirmation the claim was being processed and in less than 2 weeks, received the funds deposited directly into our account. Many Thanks.

Spot Pet Insurance has been incredible!

I love how simple it is to submit claims and even receive direct deposit for reimbursement. The only con I can think of is whish they paid more or offered prescription coverage on maintenance medication. That being said, they have helped cover so many vaccinations and microchip. We had an emergency vet visit and they covered 70% and saved us from taking mounting debt to pay for it. I even received the reimbursement in less than a week.

Lauralea Pittman

Best Experience Ever

My lil guy recently had to have emergency surgery to remove a foreign body, very expensive, over $6k in total. I called Spot to verify everything they would need to process the claim. They were very empathetic about my situation and provided clear instructions as to everything they would need. The process to submit the claim was very easy and straightforward- my claim was approved and processed with the money deposited in less than a week. I would give 6 stars if I could, highly, HIGHLY recommend!!

Spot Insurance is a must have! 10/10

I wholeheartedly recommend Spot Pet Insurance for each of your beloved pets! The claims process is done through their app and reviewed quickly as long as you submit the appropriate paperwork. Usually, you just submit an itemized receipt from the vet along with the veterinarian's notes. I hit my deductible this year and was reimbursed for subsequent visits/procedures according to the contract. 10/10!

Michelle Nguyen

Pet insurance reimburses pet parents for the cost of covered vet bills. To use your policy, take your pet to the vet for treatment, and pay your bill.

Accident-only plans can help cover the cost of eligible vet exams, lab tests, medications, and hospital stay, while illness coverage helps with the cost of treatment for infections, dental illnesses, behavioral issues and more.


Spot also offers an optional preventive care add-on that can help cover the cost of vaccines, wellness exams, and more.

A pre-existing condition is an injury, illness, or condition you or your vet notice your pet has or has symptoms of before you enroll in pet insurance or during your policy’s waiting period.


Pet insurance does not cover pre-existing conditions, but a condition that is curable, cured, and has been symptom and treatment free for a period of 180 days will no longer be considered pre-existing, and can be eligible for coverage.  

A waiting period is a set period between the day you enroll and the day your coverage begins. Conditions that occur during the waiting period will be considered pre-existing and will not be eligible for coverage under your plan. Conditions that occur after the waiting period can be eligible for coverage.


Spot plans typically have a 14 day waiting period for coverage. See our sample policy for more information on your states specific waiting periods.

Spot can cover puppies and kittens 8 weeks and older. We recommend enrolling your puppy or kitten while they are still young to minimize the chance that they develop any pre-existing conditions that will not be eligible for coverage under their Spot plan.
