Some people say comparison is the thief of joy. At Spot, we're happy to compare ourselves to others. We're confident in the products we offer.
Spot plans provide your pet with extensive plan options.
Here, we take a look at a few key differentiators between pet insurance plans offered by Spot and Figo:
As a policyholder of a plan from Figo, you need to pay an additional fee to get coverage for exam fees for eligible conditions. This is not the case with Spot plans.
Figo plans do not cover microchipping.
Figo has a separate cap on how much they will reimburse for behavioral problems. If eligible treatment for your pet’s behavioral problem costs more than this cap, you’ll have to pay for those yourself.

You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for. These guys aren't the cheapest, but I did my homework and their coverage is very broad. I've made claims and been reimbursed promptly per the policy. They don't mess around with tiny print exclusions. I've insured my two goldens with them for over a year now and am happy for the peace of mind that they pay what they owe and I get what I expected.
