Is Dental Coverage Worth It?
Dental coverage can help pet parents get back on expensive dental treatments, including:
Tooth extractions
Dental disease
Dental services like caps, crowns, and root canals
Dental cleanings
Do Dogs Need Dental Coverage?
Over 80% of dogs, 3 years and older, show signs or symptoms of dental disease4. In 2025, dog parents faced with vet bills for this condition pay over $1200*. With a Spot plan, pet parents can get up to 90% cash back on the cost of treatment for dental disease.
Do Cats Need Dental Coverage?
About 85% of cats over 6 years old are affected by periodontal disease5. With an average treatment cost of over $1100, cat parents can struggle when faced with such a high vet bill. Spot plans can help protect your pet and your wallet by reimbursing up to 90% of treatment costs for dental disease in cats.
Do Spot Plans Cover Pre-existing Dental Conditions?
Spot, like most other pet insurance companies, cannot cover pre-existing dental conditions. However, if a condition is curable, cured, and free of treatment or symptoms for 180 days, it will no longer be considered pre-existing and can be covered.

Accident prone Dog
I bought this insurance because I have an accident prone dog. Have had to file to file 3 claims for injuries and so far, each claim has been paid without incident.
Excellent service and super easy to work with!
I recently set up Spot pet insurance for my two dogs, and the entire process was incredibly smooth and straightforward. The website was user-friendly, the options were clearly explained, and I was able to get both policies active in just a few minutes. No hassle, no confusion—just quick and easy setup. What really impressed me though was their claim processing. I submitted a claim recently, and it was handled quickly and efficiently. The reimbursement came through faster than I expected, with clear communication throughout the process. It took a huge weight off my shoulders knowing that Spot has my dogs' backs when they need vet care. I highly recommend Spot Pet Insurance to any pet parent looking for reliable coverage without the headaches. Their team clearly understands how important our furry family members are. Five stars all the way! — Chris Lewis, San Diego, CA
