Spot vs. USAA & Embrace: What Pets Are Eligible?
Before diving into other factors, if you’re a parent of an older pet, your pet may not qualify for certain plans through Embrace’s pet insurance.
At Spot Pet Insurance, we know that older dogs and cats tend to require more medical care. We have no upper age limit for any of our plans, allowing you to enroll your pet in our insurance at any age (as long as they are older than eight weeks).
Embrace, USAA’s pet health insurance partner, only allows pets age 14 or older to enroll in Accident-only plans, meaning illness plans and other options are excluded.
Spot Pet vs. USAA & Embrace: What’s Included?
One of the core concerns in choosing a pet insurance policy is the cost. The pet insurance cost should also be weighed against the value. That is why we include benefits in our core plan that offer great value, while other insurers typically limit to extra cost add-ons.
Microchipping is a perfect example. This technology helps pet owners find and reunite with their pets if their pet becomes lost. Microchip implants are covered in our Spot Pet Insurance core plans to help make this essential safety measure more accessible.
With Embrace, microchipping is only included with an added Wellness Rewards plan, incurring further costs on top of your core plan premium
Another example is food and supplements. Spot Pet Insurance core plans include coverage for therapeutic diets and supplements when prescribed by a licensed vet to treat covered conditions (not for general maintenance or weight management).
For similar coverage through USAA’s partnership with Embrace, you’ll need to purchase the added Wellness Rewards plan.
