AKC | Pet Insurance Review

I have had this insurance for years for 4 of my dogs. My dog was hospitalized 3 seperate times, they paid the 1st bill. When hospitalized the 2nd time they said I was at the maximum for the SAME incident and won't pay anymore. It is NOT the same incident! I am requesting them to look that it is NOT the same thing. Diag. procedure they are not paying either. I pay over $89 per month for 1 policy and this is what I get? I am currently looking into other insurance. My renewal is up with them shortly. My other pups are healthy - Close to $300 per month on insurance -- to have them do this?! I lost my sweet guy and I am crushed = Like I really need this hassle on top of my grief when clearly anyone WITHOUT a medical mind can see an MRI of the brain does not have a thing to do with pneumonia yet they are claiming the same incident - SERIOUSLY -- I can't believe years in the the Wellness Plan Coverage (premium cost) and they pull this. I would NOT recommend this to an enemy.

I had an AKC policy on my Aussie Shepherd for 5 years. I was outraged when my policy went up with this latest renewal to double the monthly amount resulting in an increase over $400 per year! I was not sent a notice of the renewal, and quetioned why it went up (when my payent was drafted from my account. My pet is healthy as only seen annually by the vet. I called and they told me the increase was "across the board for everybody". They are also slow in paying and their "reasonable" charges are lower than you can get treatment for. Watch out for these guys!

I have had this plan for my Rottweiler for 6 years, since I registered her with AKC at a few months old. She was diagnosed with wearing ACL in her right knee last year. A few months later she tore the ACL in her left knee. After consulting with an orthopedic surgeon, he told me it would be better to repair both knees at the same time as it would save the dog from having to go through the anestesia another time, the healing process would be done at once, and an added perk was it would cost less. I called the PetPartners insurance and asked them if there was any problem having both knees operated on in the same day. Their response was -- yes, that's fine each knee is counted as a separate incident. After the surgery was done, I submitted my bill and PetPartners denied the bill on one knee saying two knees is counted as a chronic condition. I challenged their decision but they still denied payment on the second knee. This company lies and can't be trusted. Find a reputable company!!

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. I submitted to the insurance company and they paid the claim at my policy level (80%). AKC PetPartners offers multiple plans for you to choose from. I am very thankful to have this insurance for my dogs. Additionally I do need to say I noticed some reviews indicating problems downloading the claim forms, I have never encountered any problem downloading the claim forms. I have had this insurance for years and thankful that I do.

I insured my puppy Golden Retriever never expecting to need it. When he was only 3 he developed a cardiac sarcoma that killed him in 1 day. AKC had paid for earlier chest xrays (they showed nothing) & for the $3000 final bill, excluding cremation. I have no complaints about this plan & would get it again but it looks like they've raised their rates considerably in 2 months.
