7/10   Rates Got Raised Big Time After Surgery , 2/19/2013

Reviewed By: Gail, Recommend: N

Overall the AKC/Pet Partners insurance group is very good about reimbursements based on your policy. However, after having the policy for 3-1/2 year, my dog required ligament surgery (TTA) of which they did pay 80% based on my policy but upon the next year's renewal, they increased my rates by $100 each month!! I've kept the policy but will be moving to another carrier. After researching, other carriers have the same benefits and hopefully won't be a devious.

9/10   Appreciative of coverage, 1/22/2013

Reviewed By: Dana Mansell, Recommend: Y

We have multiple pets insured by Pet Partners. In particular, Trevar, our Scottie was without major medical issues for many years under his policy, however over the past two years medical issues arose-numerous diagnostics, surgeries, chemo, hospitalizations, etc. Needless to say our veterinary costs was exhorbatant but of course we would do whatever possible for our "Buddy." Two particular months of medical costs were in excess of $6000. Pet Partners (based on our policies)reimbursed us at least$4600. Although their premiums are a bit higher that some other companies, the coverages they offer are top notch and their reimbursements based on policy selection as you can see by the above receipt, are exceptional. They also give you an extended amount of time to file, and once filed benefits are dispersed promptly.

2/10   "Trial" Coverage....., 10/29/2012

Reviewed By: Clark, Recommend: N

I decided to get the trial coverage on my 3 month old puppy. After two weeks into the plan, he had an ear infection. Took him to the Vet and paid over $200 for exam and meds. Filed the claim to AKC PET and received a letter two weeks later saying that it was not covered because was within 30 days. I called CS and they said it's not covered under the "trial". So, why offer a "trial" version of the insurance.

9/10   Satisfied client of AKC Pet Healthcare Plan, 7/25/2012

Reviewed By: Wanda, Recommend: Y

AKC Pet Healthcare Plan has been a blessing to me as my 8 year old yorkie had to go through some extensive medical testing at the NCSU vet school and although, I had some out of pocket expense, it was so good to know that the $1500 limit was paid in a very timely manner after all my claim forms were turned in....He has had some pancreatits over the years and the insurance has been well worth the cost for us...I would highly recommend it to folks as they become new pet owners!

10/10   I got exactly what was promised!!!!,
I have had the AKC Pet Healthcare Plan for 3 years. It was brought to my attention thru my registration of my Golden Retriever with the American Kennel Club. I received a 60 day FREE Trial plan and thought that there most be a trick to this. However, they did not ask for a credit card or anyother financial data. In about 45 days I called and enrolled in one of their plans. The first year they paid me… read more

7/10   Quick claim processing,
We have had the AKC policy on both of our dogs for about a year now. We have had no problem submitting claims or receiving payment in a timely fashion. They have paid all claims appropriatly. Our only disappointment was to find that they did not cover congenital diseases such as hip displaysia. We may look into another plan that does cover ALL congenital conditions. Other than that, I would say this is… read more

8/10   THANKFUL to HAVE,
We have a collie that required various tests. She was stumbling, falling, walking like she was drunk or walking into things. It needed to be determined if she had a vision or a neurological problem. The AKC PetPartners Insurance paid for the Eye Specialist and that indicated we needed to have neurological consultation. That consult required an MRI as well as a Spinal Tap. The claim was over $2,000. … read more

4/10   The Claims Processing Predicament,
I've had this Pet Insurance since March when my new puppy came to me as my forever partner to replace my 12-yr-old SD; I've had several visits to the vet and need to process my puppy's claims; it seems impossible to download claim forms from their web sight, and this is bothersome; in responding to the comment whether claims should be processed if more than 90 days go by, to me they should be processed up… read more
