What is Pet Insurance for Dogs and Cats?
Pet insurance is like the insurance we get for ourselves and our families. And pets are very well a part of our family. The vet bills can run huge at times, especially if some unfortunate accident happens to our four-legged babies. This is where pet insurance can help.
Pets have been providing us with physical and mental well-being for decades. We wouldn’t want any unfortunate accident or illness to affect their health, but if it does, we should be prepared financially to get them the best care. Know more about what does pet insurance cover and how does pet insurance work.
Pet insurance can help here. We humans can’t control unfortunate happenings so much, but pet insurance can help protect your pet and your pocket.

The consequences can be severe once encountered, which can include severe weakness, depression, stiffness, and severe muscle pain. It can also lead to the inability to have puppies.

Gray Foxes
Gray foxes are an increasing threat to our pets in Indiana due to their skills and speed. Gray foxes are native to Indiana and can be found mostly in the forested south-central hills region and woodland areas. These foxes have partially retractable claws allowing them to stay sharp enough to climb trees. The higher vantage point gives these predators an advantage on our pets, allowing them to pounce at a moment’s notice. Though a Gray fox’s primary diet consists of nuts, seeds, and small animals including rabbits, mice, and birds, they pose a threat to our pets if encountered. An attack between these foxes and our cat or dog can leave them seriously injured. When outside, pets should always be kept on a leash to reduce the risk of attacks.

Pet Insurance FAQs
Have questions about pet insurance and how it works? Let’s dig up an answer.
Are pre-existing conditions covered by pet insurance?
Plans provided by Spot do not cover pre-existing conditions.
A pre-existing condition is any injury or illness which occurs or shows symptoms before coverage starts or during a waiting period. A condition is considered pre-existing whether or not it’s been officially diagnosed or treated; all that matters is when it occurred or symptoms first displayed.
However, with plans provided by Spot, this doesn’t mean the condition can’t be covered in the future if the condition is curable. An injury or illness that is curable, cured, and free of treatment and symptoms for 180 days will no longer be regarded as pre-existing, with the exception of knee and ligament conditions. If a knee or ligament condition occurs before the coverage effective date or during a waiting period, any future ones won’t be covered.
Can I Get Reimbursed for Routine Teeth Cleanings?
Base level plans provided by Spot do not cover routine teeth cleanings.
However, Spot accident & illness plans cover treatments for dental illnesses. The only treatment covered for dental accidents is tooth extractions.
To get reimbursed on routine cleanings for your dog or cat’s general wellbeing, you’ll need to add preventive coverage to your base plan for a little extra cost per month.
Is pet insurance for everyone?
Pet insurance can fetch you extensive coverage and help you save money when life throws unexpected lemons at our pets (which could be a covered accident!). You never know when your pet may need care, and pet insurance can help give you peace of mind.
Do I Pay Vet Bills Up Front?
With pet insurance, you pay your vet bill as you normally would, and then you submit your claim to get reimbursed for eligible expenses, based on the parameters of your coverage.
Are vaccinations covered by pet insurance?
Base level plans provided by Spot do not cover vaccinations. To get reimbursed for certain routine vaccinations for your dog or cat’s general wellbeing, you’ll need to add preventive coverage to your base plan for a little extra cost per month.
