Highly recommend! I was skeptical getting insurance for my 15 y/o kitty. I figured the monthly payments would work out to be a HSA type situation and pay for themselves that way. I have been surprised and delighted to find that all of my babies visits have been atleast partially covered so far! Their customer services is fantastic and I can tell their team genuinely care about our fur kiddos and what they do! I am so grateful to Spot Pet Insurance and recommend them to every vet professional and friend who asks (and often those who don't haha)! read more

One of the checks for reimbursement takes 20 - 30 days to arrive! It is day 20 still no chekc... NOT 7 - 10 days.... a supervisor told me checks often do not arrive.... ??? they have to reissue them and there is no way of tracking them. Turns out my plan does not treat injuries? But I am paying for "Wellness checks?" So how do they define wellness checks if its not "injury?" I am really disappointed in this agency. They seem great on the surface but major problems. You also cannot just change plans you have to completely close your current account and then create a new one with a 14 day gap. And my $250 deductible did not count, even after spending hundreds of dollars on "wellness checks" and teeth cleaning. It doesn't take any of that money for my deductible. Terrible. read more

I initially thought Spot Pet Insurance was a great alternative to pet insurance I had with my previous employer. Spot charged $134 per month for the same policy I subsequently got with Nationwide Pet Insurance. Nationwide is approximately $35-$36 dollars. I felt like I was robbed by Spot! What a crying shame! Spot took forever to reimburse me for claims, where Nationwide took just a few days. The other issue was when I cancelled the policy, the agent told me that I would see a full refund since I cancelled it on the billing date... How about I had to wait on the line for nearly an hour because the initial agent could not give me any details other than word-salad (a bunch of generalities). How about I would never have seen the full refunded amount because they did an adjusted billing which basically pro-rated my monthly fee for 1 day. Why did I have to stay on the phone for an hour and neither the original agent nor the manager/supervisor could JUST SAY THAT?! Run to Nationwide Pet Insurance, people! Save your money and protect your peace of mind. Spot Pet Insurance will drive you to drink if you let them. You'll have a much better experience with Nationwide Pet Insurance! :-) read more

Very bad insurance company. our dog was injured a few days after we paid our premium for the policy. They did not make us aware there was a 14 day grace period . Never heard of a grace period. They made us jump thru hoops for a month asking for All kinds of paperwork for claim, but then telling us more than a month later that the claim is not covered because we were within the 14 day grace period they NEVER told us about. Th is is very bad business. I do not recommend this company at all. VERY MISLEADING!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

SCAMMERS. PLEAS STAY AWAY FROM THIS INSURANCE COMPANY, If it were possible, I would give them zero stars; they will scam you out of your money. You are throwing your money in a trash can because they will never reimburse you for anything. They charged me for $155 per month for 100% coverage, but at the time of reimburse they found some unrelated excuse to deny our claim. read more

absolutely the worst ever paid $450 in three months was 93 claims a waste of good I strongly suggest you find a different insurance

I just switched over to Spot Pet Insurance in January. My dog had an ear infection (first one since owning him in 9 years) and was seen in urgent care. I submitted the claim and it was denied stating his first ear infection was a pre existing condition due to him receiving an allergy injection in 2024. My dog has never been diagnosed as having allergies but now this insurance company states allergies and ear infections are the same and therefore the claim is denied. All Spot Insurance wants is their monthly payments and will come up with any excuse not to cover a claim. Very disappointed in moving over to this company. read more

If Yelp allowed 0 stars, that's exactly what I would give Spot Pet Insurance. My claim for my dog Alex was denied twice, even after providing all the medical records they asked for. They took forever to process my claim, kept asking for more documents, and never contacted my vet directly for anything. If you don't spoon-feed them every detail, your claim gets rejected. I switched from Healthy Paws because of Spot's advertising, but Healthy Paws was 100× better. They actually contact the vet, help you when something's missing, and process claims fast. I'm leaving Spot and returning to Healthy Paws. Switching was a big mistake. read more

Don't believe nothing fake account reviews says on this website the truth is Spot pet insurance is a 100% scammers they rob me for one calendar year I was paying for this crap scammer pet insurance and when I need them all they gave me was excuses talking around to not pay for the bill of veterinary clinic wolk away for this fake ass scammer name Spot Pet Insurance they don't help me and they will not help you either trust me.. read more

Please stay away from this company. They do not care about your pets, and they are not there when you need them most. I am writing this to report what I believe to be an improper denial of a valid insurance claim and a failure to adhere to the terms of the policy. My dog, Mila, was diagnosed with advanced periodontal disease, which progressed to tooth root damage, infection, and a fractured jaw with involvement of the nasal cavity (oronasal communication). As a result of this condition, she required emergency surgical treatment, including dental extractions, treatment of infection, and stabilization of the jaw. The treating veterinarian, Bremen Animal Hospital LTD, documented that this condition and the procedures performed were medically necessary and required immediate intervention. Without treatment, the condition would have caused ongoing severe pain, inability to eat, and risk of further complications, including systemic infection. I submitted a claim under my Platinum plan with additional wellness coverage for reimbursement of approximately $1,788.00 in veterinary expenses. This claim was denied in full. Based on the policy coverage for accidents and illnesses, this condition and the resulting treatment fall within covered events. The diagnosis was not the result of neglect, and the treatment was not elective or preventative--it was necessary medical intervention for a covered condition. The denial of this claim appears to be inconsistent with the stated terms and intent of the policy. I am requesting a formal review and reversal of the claim denial, with reimbursement of eligible expenses in accordance with the policy. I also request a clear, written explanation citing the specific policy provisions used to justify the denial. Consumers should be aware of how this company handles claims, especially in urgent medical situations where coverage is expected but not honored. read more

HORRIBLE!!!! They literally covered NOTHING out of all the emergency care my two pups needed last month. WTF have I been paying for the last few months?!?! ABSOLUTELY nothing was covered that they GUARANTEED me would be covered ‍‍ they requested records from last year (2025) and which DO NOT EXIST because the dogs were born late 2024, were healthy the whole last year, and have no records to send from 2025. After 3-4 weeks of waiting for my claims to be reimbursed, they were denied in full (literally $0.00 back) because they said I didn't send in records *that don't exist* for me to send in. Both my animal hospital and primary vet sent in letters NUMEROUS TIMES clearly explaining this to them, and they STILL denied me reimbursements for stuff that is CLEARLY covered under the plan that I have got them. I am SO DISAPPOINTED in Spot insurance and their pathetic negligence to fulfill the BARE MINIMUM of what they're supposed to do.. cover their customers emergency pet expenses that the customers are paying a monthly premium TO. HAVE. COVERED. read more

Spot Pet Insurance - Pictures of claims I made that should have been covered in full that I received 0.00 for!! - Pet Insurance Near Me - Miami, Florida

Beware of this insurance! If there is any type of pre-existing condition they will deny any new claim even if the current illness is completely unrelated to the pre-existing condition. My dog almost died from anesthesia and needed medication and monitoring by the vet for 8 hours before he recovered. Spot Pet Insurance tried to state it was from a stomach issue he had months prior. Our vet even explained in the notes that the anesthesia reaction had nothing to do with any prior issues. They will look for any reason not to pay a claim. read more

One of the worst pet insurance experiences I've ever had. My claim was submitted the same day my dog was treated, and Spot Pet Insurance waited over a week just to contact my veterinarian. Their website says claims are processed within 2-7 business days, but in reality, it takes 2-4 weeks or even longer. They denied my claim saying there was "no SOP" (soap notes), even though not every veterinarian provides that kind of documentation. Instead of helping me resolve the issue, they just rejected the claim. Their customer service calls don't help at all -- the representatives are from overseas, very hard to understand, and they seem unfamiliar with their own policies. They also advertise Amazon gift cards and other promotions that never arrive. The whole process felt misleading, slow, and poorly managed. I wouldn't recommend this insurance -- it's been a frustrating and disappointing experience from start to finish. read more

Spot is the absolute WORST for pet insurance. Stay away from this company, it's a scam. I started a policy and then my dog was prescribed medications which should have been covered. Spot kept denying my claims because they said they didn't receive full vet records. I sent them the complete records from my vet multiple times, but they said they lacked "soap notes". My dog only went to the vet for routine vaccinations so the only notes were what vaccines he got and his weight. My vet then added in the "soap notes" they wanted only for them to say that still wasn't correct, but wouldn't explain why. My previous vet and my new vet have no idea what Spot is looking for so it seems this was just a way that they could get out of reimbursing me for my dog's medications. After further review, it seems this is a common practice for Spot Pet Insurance. So I have been paying monthly for a service I have never received. Unfortunately I will end up having to take them to small claims court to get my money back. Save yourself the headache and DO NOT GET PET INSURANCE THROUGH SPOT. read more

295% increase in my bill since 2022?! This is INSANE and truly should be illegal. I've used the insurance twice for ER visits for our dog and they've barely covered any of it. Additionally, they've sent my reimbursement to the wrong address twice even after changing it on the phone AND in the Spot owner portal. Severally disappointed with this service. read more

Terrible customer service. Three calls so far and no resolution of submitted claim. Despite supplying ever vet generated SOAP record asked for. Save your premium money in an account for your pets health needs. In your own. You would be better off that with SPOT pet insurance. Don't waste your money. read more

I'm so disappointed to see the bad reviews because we've had great experience with SPOT. Our dog started having seizures and we've had to submit multiple claims and never had any issues. They're prompt with payment every time. So we're very happy with them! read more

they will not cover you even if the vet gives you a clear bill of health until 180 days and you have to pay until the 180 days is complete and every time you try to make a claim they will claim that is a pre-existing condition that they will not cover this company is a scam. They do not give you half off for them to not wanna pay anything when you're paying full price for the insurance every month if I could give zero out of 10, I would it has been completely useless for me and my dog and a complete waste of money. The customer service is absolutely useless. read more

Do NOT use SPOT. I finally canceled my coverage with them after 2 years because there's always "some excuse" why they can't provide coverage for my pug. I finally had the last straw today. I called a couple weeks ago before taking my pug to a vet dentist and the SPOT licensed agent told me his extractions would be covered 80%. I'm told today that only $75 of the $13,250 surgery would be reimbursed. This is just one example of piss poor coverage and their many many loopholes. Seek pet insurance elsewhere. read more

Spot Pet Insurance - There's always an "excuse" as to why they can't cover - Pet Insurance Near Me - Miami, Florida

LOOK ELSEWHERE - HORRIBLE INSURANCE. FILING COMPLAINT WITH BBB AND STATE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER. Things were going ok - had 2 dogs on policies. Then it went down the crapper. They processed Nexgard flea medicine as a 'dental cleaning'. I had to reach out to management to have that fixed - which they didn't. Then when I submitted the dental claim - for my dog to have her teeth cleaned - they said that the dog had a cracked tooth. They denied the cleaning as an illness. I can't believe how uneducated and stupid these people are. The doctor couldn't believe it either. They found a chip on her tooth (not a crack) when they were doing a cleaning and didn't do anything about it as it was something that didn't need work. SPOT denied it as a cleaning. UM - that's what she was in for and I paid to have a cleaning done....as well as the coverage for that. I canceled the insurance and will post this all over social media. SPOT should not be handling insurance claims. read more

Spot is a great company ; I had a different pet insurance for 11 years and they increased monthly premiums a lot . I just changed to Spot insurance on September and unfortunately my dog had an incident on December. she had a very bad pain in the neck area . After second opinion from a Neurologist we went to surgery process . It's cost $12000 and Spot paid 70% ; the claim went very smoothly. I really appreciate from Spot although I just add this insurance for two months but they paid the large amount of claims. Highly recommended. read more

Spot Pet Insurance - Pet Insurance Near Me - Miami, Florida

Denied my dog's truth -- they said Lilly was diagnosed when she never was I'm devastated by how Spot handled my dog Lilly's claim. They denied it saying she had already been "diagnosed with an incurable kidney disease," which is completely untrue. In June, Lilly only had slightly elevated enzyme levels -- no diagnosis, no treatment, and no indication of kidney disease from her veterinarian. I switched to Spot because my previous insurer discontinued her policy and I wanted to keep protecting her in her final years. Instead of compassion, I received a denial based on false assumptions. Lilly is now gone, and the pain of losing her is already unbearable. What hurts even more is knowing this company made it worse -- turning my grief into a battle to defend the truth. No pet parent should be made to feel dismissed or blamed when all they did was love and care for their animal. I hope Spot learns to treat families with honesty and empathy -- because behind every policy there's a life, a family, and a love that deserves respect. read more

Immoral and unethical practice. I had both of my dogs insured with this company, paying $350 per month for one and $150 per month for the other. When one of my dogs passed away, this terrible company wasted no time in increasing the premium for my remaining dog, even though it hadn't even been a full year. They began overcharging my account two months before the actual renewal date. When I called to find out why, I was connected to someone in the Philippines who struggled with English, making the whole process exhausting. I've been with this company for five years. They used to be great, but now they're openly ripping people off and forcing customers to deal with overseas representatives who can barely communicate. There are plenty of pet insurance companies out there, this one is no longer worth it. read more

I switched to spot a couple of years back when the an insurance I had when up. They were good with the preventive claims, but the first major claim I submitted, they requested records for the previous six years. Wouldn't you know they found a pre-existing condition and denied my claim. My advice don't waste your money, unless you have a new puppy. Plus their premiums go up drastically. read more

THE WORST!! Had coverage for my cat for accidents, and he came home one day and threw up blood. I took him to our vet, who ran bloodwork and did some tests, deciding that he'd eaten something weird and would be fine (which he was). Submitted the claim ($600+) to Spot and they repeatedly denied it - saying he was ILL. The vet (35+ experience and awesome) and I tried numerous times to dispute the claim - his bloodwork was clear and he's never been ill (!) a day in his life but they denied the claim regardless. Abysmal company - bottom feeders. Take a look at their many lousy rating on the BBB pages. 10 OF 10 DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

why did I even bother registering for spot a second time. Event after the $1000 deductible they never reimburse money. Just stay away from pet insurances, you're better off saving a bit of money each paycheck and placing it in a high yield savings account, then using that money ONLY when you need to for pet vet expenses. read more

I signed up for Spot Pet Insurance (wish I'd read the Yelp reviews first) and have used it twice. My claims were denied both times. They claimed my dog's ear infections were due to allergies. His breed, Shih Tzu, is prone to ear infections for various reasons. But they denied the whole bill (office visit? flea prevention meds?, etc). And I pay for the higher priced plan! Why have insurance if they're going to deny every bill and every charge in the bills. My recommendation is to look for other, better insurance for your pet! read more

1/5 Stars - Spot Pet Insurance: A Total Scam - Do NOT Use Them If you are considering Spot Pet Insurance, stop what you are doing and read this review. This company is a complete and total rip-off, and I am writing this to save you the financial and emotional pain I've been through. Do not give them a single dollar. I have multiple pets, and I diligently paid my premiums to Spot for what I thought was peace of mind. When my pets needed veterinary care, I submitted claims, and every single one was denied. Every. Single. One. Their "reimbursement policy" is a complete joke and a sham. They will find any and every possible loophole, obscure clause, or made-up reason to not pay out. You are left completely in the dark, with vague, useless denial letters and zero transparency. It's clear that their business model is built on collecting premiums and never paying a dime when a claim is actually submitted. It's a disgusting and predatory practice. I have lost hundreds of dollars in premiums and am now stuck with thousands in vet bills that I believed would be covered. This company will not be there for you when your pet needs them most. You are much, much better off putting the money you would spend on their premiums into a savings account yourself. Trust me, you'll have better luck and more security that way. Save yourself the frustration and go with literally any other company. This one is a total scam. read more

I canceled my pup's policy immediately after realizing I'd been misled. When I purchased the policy, I was told coverage would start the same day -- no one mentioned a 14-day waiting period. I chose Spot Insurance specifically to avoid delays like this. After my pup's treatment on 7/28, I called to appeal the denied claim and was told the waiting period would have ended on 7/29 -- information I was never given in the first place. Because of this, I'm now out $500 in unexpected costs. To make matters worse, the representative never even tried to retain me as a customer. Employees should be better trained to clearly explain policy details so customers can make informed decisions. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Spot Insurance. I hope this saves other pet parents some grief. read more

BUYER BEWARE! I highly recommend that you DO NOT use Spot for pet insurance. They will find any excuse to deny your claim with very poor communication as to why, and when you go through the claim appeal process, the underwriters will do the same. I've moved on to Pets Best Insurance. read more

Compared to other insurances I have used, Spot is a little more expensive but for good reason. I have never been reimbursed within 1 week until getting Spot. On a "longer" delay of getting delayed its never more than 3 weeks compared to another insurance I use for my other dog that takes months to get reimbursed and then I have to fight the denied claim. I have had zero issues with Spot. They have covered all the testing for my dog when finding out what was wrong with her and they did all the work of reaching out to my vet to gather information. If I could recommend them a million times I would. They have SAVED my bank account and have made it such a stress free process. I am so beyond thankful. I appreciate being able to customize my plan. The first year I used the wellness plan and now we just have the accident/illness but I love that I was able to change it. read more

They do everything they can to delay your claim. After submitting all of the requested forms, they emailed me the following week and requested my 4 month old puppy's vet history, which has nothing to do with her emergency surgery for swallowing a sock. I submitted it anyway. Now this week they are delaying it by requesting her current visit to the vet, but she is recovering with her stitches and isn't going to the vet. I called to let them know how ridiculous that is and that she hasn't gone since her emergency visit. Now all of the sudden, my original itemized invoice was blank which is an outright lie, since I have the file on my computer and I can see it. Don't use this company, they will do anything to not honor your claim. read more

Don't waste your money. I sent a claim in three weeks ago. They keep asking me for more medical records. My vet has sent in all the medical recordsfor her. And they still keep saying they don't have certain records. But they do. So I canceled them. And I'm going with Lemonade. read more

Very prompt in payments and claim processing. It was very easy submitting the claims. It was great working with them. I wish they increase the max pay outs read more

I have to say, I'm shocked to see so many negative reviews for this company as my recent claim experience couldn't have gone more smoothly. Of course I only purchased insurance primarily for catastrophic care & with a large deductible, didn't expect to use it for anything else. Our little dog Wally made it to the ripe old age of 12 years old without ever having any veterinary problems until this summer. He had an acute onset of glaucoma which we later found out was caused by a tumor in the iris. Having his eye removed was a very emotional experience and the vet bills totaled a little over $6,000. SPOT was amazing, their customer service excellent, and after our $1,000 deductible was paid, they reimbursed us 90% after a few minor exclusions (the payout was also very fast). I am so thankful that I found SPOT insurance & based on my personal experience, I highly recommend this company. Thank you to all those at SPOT for helping to ease the financial stress of our pet's surgery & care. read more

See all

don't bother with these scammers. bought their insurance, took my pet in for wellness check. they found anaplasmosis. spot will not cover this because it was found during a wellness check that you can get two days after you enroll. you have to wait the full 14 days, then do a wellness for anything to be covered. but even then, they deny your claim. i spent hours and days trying to get them to respond and do what they say i paid for. scammers...do not use! worst pet insurance ever! they will screw you! read more

This company is the worst they take your money and they refuse to give it back to you and if they give it back to you you have to kiss their a to get the money they claim they record phone calls they don't record nothing they keep money and give you excuses. I found a excellent Insurance company TRUPANION read more

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS PET INSURANCE. This is the most dishonest pet insurance I have ever had. They cover NOTHING. They find a way to call everything a PRE-EXISTING condition. The last straw was that my dog got an ear infection. She was at the beach and got sand in her ear. They refused to pay this claim as they called it a preexisting condition. She had never had an ear infection before. I have cancelled my policy. Find another company to support your baby. This one will not. read more

Don't use this insurance! Their employees are not well informed. They will tell you mistruths about the coverage. I was told my dog's gastropexy would be covered under accident coverage. It took five phone calls for someone to tell me it wasn't. This news came after submitting multiple estimates pre- surgery. They refused coverage of my dog's annual vaccinations that are covered under their premium policy, because the vet gave them 2 months before my policy renewed and would not allow me to resubmit in the new year. They claim they cover your pet, but they are in the business of taking your money. read more

Well... why are all insurance companies seem to be run by scammers? I took my pet to the vet because she was scratching too much and they gave her some medicines, saying it could be seasonal, or a tick bite, or something else. Spot asked me for her medical history, and then denied the claim because they considered it a "Pre-existing condition" since I had taken her two years ago to the vet for an allergic reaction... Well... that is just ludicrous. If I have a flu today, go to the doctor, and 2 years later go to the doctor for a flu, do I have an EXISTING CONDITION??? Of course not!!!!! I would be ok with the money I spent going towards my deductible, actually I expected it, but to be denied on such a ridiculous argument??? They SUCK! If she had cancer, OK, I would understand. But for this? Just dishonest. read more
