Spot Pet InsuranceReviews of spotpet.com

It’s so expensive and doesn’t cover nearly enough. My one dog’s monthly rate just increased $60/month with no warning. We’re paying nearly $300/month for one dog and not even half of his last wellness visit was covered.

This company is horrible! What a scam they pull. We adopted a Golden Retriever in July 2024. Purchased pet insurance from Spot and chose “Accident Only”. We passed all waiting periods and made monthly payments on time. Cut to March 2025, my dog became injured in the backyard after his morning walk. He was playing and running, and slipped in the wet grass. He then became unwilling to stand and unwilling to walk as the afternoon progressed. We made the decision to take him to emergency vet where radiographs were taken and pain meds and anti inflammatory given. We then submitted a claim which was promptly denied as we didn’t provide an “exact and specific time” for the incident. We immediately appealed and provided ALL of his medical records AGAIN (this was also done at the application time). The appeal was just denied. What an absolute bait and switch this company pulled. Be very aware of doing business with them.

I appreciate the ease of filling out the required form and ability to upload documentations. I received my check in the mail with no complications!

Submitting claims has been easy with prompt payment of claims. Claim app has been easy to negotiate.

My policy has increased 50% for a single cat that hasn’t had any claims since starting with this company. I reached out and was told the increase was "necessary due to either the age of your pet, advances in veterinary medicine, or an update to the coverage that your policy provides". I compared the new policy to the last and there was no change in coverage. My cat is 12. The premium went from $742.92 to $1,113.72. In my opinion they are preying on pet parents. If you already have a policy, be sure to login to the site often and diligently check your mail towards your annual date because your payment could increase over $30/m.

My dog recently had an issue with an abscessed tooth, which she is still being treated for. The company has repeatedly denied insurance claims, citing a pre-existing condition, because the vet records show she had plaque on her teeth and gum disease signs in the past. The vet has confirmed these are not related and information has been repeatedly provided to Spot, yet they are still refusing to reimburse the claims. There will be other claims coming as well as she is still under treatment that I'm sure will be denied as well.

Once I submitted the claim and all the info I had, the claim went very fast and I was pleased with the outcome. I regret not having direct deposit because a check in the mail took 18 days to get to me. That’s my fault, I knew better. I’ve been enrolled with Spot for 2 years now and overall I’m pleased with them. This wasn’t my first claim. I had submitted more but they were denied, not considered illness or injury. But I felt a cat in heat was a illness so I tried.

They are quick with the claims and make sure my pet is taken care of
