As a pet parent, you may prioritize your pet’s health by helping to ensure they receive nutritious food and exercise. However, unexpected accidents and illnesses can sometimes lead to high vet bills. Pet insurance can offer financial protection for these situations, but it can be important to consider preventive care too. Purchasing preventive care, also known as wellness care, can help contribute to a longer, healthier life for your pet.
Preventive Care can be an Important Aspect of Responsible Pet Parenthood
Regular vet visits, vaccinations, and preventive treatments can be important for early detection and prevention of potential health issues. This proactive approach can lead to better health outcomes and potential cost savings in the long run. Adding preventive care to your pet insurance policy can help you to prioritize your pet's well-being.

Benefits of Spot Preventive Care Coverage
Spot offers two levels of preventive care coverage:
Spot's Preventive Care Options: Gold vs. Platinum
Gold: Covers the eligible costs of essential preventive care like annual wellness exams, vaccinations, and dental cleaning.
Platinum: Includes all Gold benefits, plus coverage available for spaying/neutering and parasite prevention. This is a great option for puppies and kittens.
Policyholders have the flexibility to upgrade their existing preventive care add-on or add it to their base plan at the time of their policy renewal.
Why Annual Wellness Exams Are Important
Annual wellness exams are a cornerstone of preventive care for both dogs and cats. They help veterinarians to:
Perform thorough physical examinations.
Conduct blood work and urinalysis to help detect early signs of disease.
Discuss any concerns you may have about your pet's health or behavior.
