AKC | Pet Insurance Review

I just got off the phone with Ashley. She was so helpful in making me more comfortable with a customized policy within my budget for my 7yr old Basset Hound. For me, I purchased the Exam Plus and Congential/Heriditary add ons. I think it's important you understand what you are buying and don't just sign up on line without having a conversation. Pretty sure that would resolve negative reviews I see. I have a better understanding of coverage now and feel more secure in what I have purchased. Ashley was so helpful, honest and provided some feedback of what may be best for my hound. I am so glad I spoke to a live person which unlike most companies these days, you get right away!! Thank you Ashley for your help.

AKC Pet Insurance covered over $40,000 in expenses for my Labrador Ben who had bilateral TPLOs (6 months apart) and had physical therapy for 2 years. They covered all of his treatments and therapies without question. I expected his premiums to increase dramatically but over the 6 years the premium went from $85 per month to just $103. Given how much they reimbursed that was so much less than I expected.

Canceled my policy as of today. I originally got AKC pet insurance due to their name so I thought they would live up to their reputation ..as all other comments say good luck getting reimbursements with any claims. I submitted a claim for roughly $350. It was denied and I was told I will need to update my policy to a hereditary policy. It’s a bunch of bull crap and just another way of making another dollar off of policy holders. This wasn’t told to me when I purchased the policy, nor did I even have the option to do so. go figure!

I have a policy with AKC pet insurance for 6 years. I submitted my first claim ever, a few months ago. Reimbursement around 450 dollars. My premium jumped from 79 a month to 101 a month. I expected a slight increase, but not 22%. If it had been a massive claim, yeah, but it wasn't.

Purchased a Platinum package from AKC which included 30 days of pet insurance. Go home, registered my pup and tried to activate my insurance to find out they no longer insure Canadians. Now stuck with a $2000 vet bill. Had i/we known the breeder would have put me under her insurance for that first 30 days. All I got was "Sorry", but yet they take the money and tell you insurance is included in that price".
