Spot plans don't place an upper age limit on coverage. *With Nationwide, only pets 10 years of age or younger may enroll in a Major Medical Plan. *With Embrace and USAA, pets of any age can be insured but pets 15+ are restricted to enrolling in new accident-only plans. *** "No upper age limit*** data in table with "Y" means pets are covered and can enroll in a new plan regardless of old age.
