AKC | Pet Insurance Review

Ive never written a review in my life but Im beyond upset with this company. Coverage is spotty at best they put limits on everything to barely cover your premium. But thats not my issue. My dog had ingested a balloon in April and needed to go to the vet to get it out, I submitted the claim and received a small portion back but like the limits I still did not complain. Last weekend my dog was playing with a baseball and got to the string and ingested some which was not passing so I returned to the vet which led me to the emergency room. This visit cost me just under 1500.00 of which I will not receive any reimbursement from because they said it was "repetitive and has previously occurred so was not covered". Make that make sense. So if you think your pet could possibly do something wrong or be injured more than once with any similarity I would not suggest using this company.

The AKC insurance was just like every other one we've tried. Every excuse possible not to pay anything. The list of exclusions that they come up with is really ridiculous, and the whole industry exists to collect money and pay out nothing. Farther ahead to just put the premium money in a savings account for future needs.

Had a great experience with My Best Friend Veterinary Center (https://www.mybestfriendvet.com/ ). The team is super friendly, patient, and clearly loves what they do. They take time to explain everything and make sure pets feel comfortable. If you’re looking for a vet who truly treats your pet like family, I highly recommend them!

Despite the reason for surgery being complications secondary to a genetic condition and not the genetic condition inherently they refused to cover treatment for my dog.

Typical insurance company that will spend an inordinate amount of time and energy (money) into looking to deny your claim. I got the 30 days free when registering my dog and by happenstance had a claim..urinary tract infection for a female puppy and they arbitrarily claimed it was a congenital defect. The Vet said no way. Not worth the fight since I will not be renewing and definitely not worth your money to get this insurance.
