There’s no two ways about it: Your pet is part of the family and you want what’s best for your furry pal. You buy healthy food and make sure they get enough exercise. You play with them, love them and do what you can to keep them safe.
Despite best efforts, pets can get hurt. Accidents happen, pets get sick and vet bills can add up quickly. Even routine vet care can be expensive.
Pet insurance can help pet parents get reimbursed for the covered costs of injuries, illness and, depending on the plan you choose, preventive care.
Get to know Spot Pet Insurance
Spot Pet Insurance is one of Canada’s trusted pet insurance providers. It’s an easy-to-use insurance program, with coverage for unexpected accidents and illnesses. Pet owners can visit any licensed veterinarian in Canada or the United States for treatment. Plus, Spot offers up to $1,500 CAD in savings on pet essentials from partner brands with the Spot Perks program.*
Shertmann Falchuk, global head of growth at Spot Pet Insurance, shares about the company that now covers more than a million pets in North America.
What milestones have you hit at Spot as you grew?
There have been so many amazing milestones during our five-year journey to a million pets across Canada and the U.S. The first one that comes to mind would probably be the first “1,000 pet” day that we had, where we were able to cover 1,000 cats and dogs in one day. We had been nearing it, week after week, trying to close that gap. Finally, we were able to hit it. We pulled up our sleeves and we figured it out. After that success, I knew we would have continued success at Spot.
Do you have a favourite Spot partnership or collaboration?
I think my favourite partnership is probably our work with well-known YouTuber MrBeast. Our Spot brand did a YouTube collaboration where we helped empty out a pet shelter in Florida. A hundred pets were adopted over the course of a weekend. I think the partnership really benefited both sides, where he provided awareness and we offered life-changing pet insurance. That’s what we really aspire to do.
What has Spot done that makes you proud?
We have done an amazing job in the employee benefit space across North America. We offer Spot plans as a voluntary benefit, and seeing the growth of that particular sales channel made me particularly proud. It takes a long time for us to build those relationships, build the trust for the brokers that we work with, to allow us to be a solution for them. We’re here for our customers. We’re here for pets, and we love what we do every single day.
