I picked a plan that would work for my Australian Shepherd because I know in the past dogs can get really expensive when the time comes. It’s very worth it you get the plan to include wellness not just emergencies because you get some money back and that is always better than nothing.

Easy claim submission and prompt payment …

The pet insurance has paid promptly and covers what I expected the insurance to cover. It is very easily to upload documents and file a claim in the website.

Absolutely terrible company

Absolutely terrible company, do not use them! There are far better pet insurance companies out there that actually pay on claims versus deny every single one you put in. We were with them for 2 months and they would pay on a single claim and just outright deny everyone you put in for bogus reasons that they make up.

I received the 30 day free insurance coverage after registering my puppy. I ended up filing a claim after my puppy became sick, and nothing was covered by the insurance. I was actually going to purchase insurance though AKC I’m glad I didn’t, since nothing was covered on my claim. I will go with Nationwide Pet Insurance instead.

Best decision ever!

My family and I decided to bring a new little puppy into our family at the end of 2020. When we got him he came with a 30day trial for pet insurance (different company). I never had pet insurance on past pets and I went back and forth on if I should have pet insurance on our new puppy. I started doing research on different pet insurance companies and came across AKC Pet Insurance. I went ahead and bit the bullet and committed to purchasing a policy with AKC. Best decision I have ever made, they have been a lifesaver for me! A few months after purchasing a policy with AKC our new little puppy started having some issues. We took him to vet multiple times, vet ran several different blood test with no firm result and then eventually sent us to a specialist for more testing. I have submitted 4 different claims to AKC and they have processed and covered each claim within days of submission. They have taken away the financial stress of going through these issues with our baby. I highly recommend AKC Pet Insurance to anyone and if you are on the fence about having pet insurance at all, I say go for it. You may not need it, and that is great if you don't, but if you do, you will be grateful you have it. Thank you AKC!!
