AKC | Pet Insurance Review

I was told by my breeder that she signed me up for 30 days of free insurance through the AKC and when I turned in my substantial claim, they turned my claim down because not only did my breeder have to sign me up for the insurance, and did, it had to be "activated by me". I received an email and thought it was a copy with all the names on it. I have never had to sign up AND then have to "activate" it. Who would have guessed I had to "activate" my free insurance after signing up for it? In my opinion, they are just looking for any way to not pay. I would not recommend this insurance, clearly, they look for reasons not to pay. I'm sure there are plenty of other insurance companies with better ethics.

Basically your insurance is nothing but a fraud to garner business and try to hook customers into purchasing insurance on their pet(s). And you write the policy in such a way that no matter what happens to a customers pet you cover your business aspects by not paying because you claim it’s a secondary to a medicine that the government and states require customers to have their pets vaccinated with a rabies shot. I had faith in AKC but now all I see is big business wanting money from the little people and that they (AKC) really doesn’t care about the little people or how it constrains their life when their family member has to be hospitalized and the insurance won’t cover it because of mandatory vaccination. Shame on AKC. I will be letting all my friends and family know of how corrupt this organization truly is. Nothing but a joke to not having to pay a claim on mandatory vaccinations that caused this issue and yet I’m still paying the medical bills. Totally lost my faith in AKC.

Happy with the ease of getting insurance for each year and your correspondence when awaiting an answer for whether services provided will be reimbursed and for what amount.

I submitted a claim for $226, knowing I had a $100 deductible. They also deducted $75 for the emergency exam & $10.25 for coinsurance & sent me a check for $41. I'm cancelling now, as I can easily put back $50 a month for vet expenses, instead of paying AKC Pet Insurance +$65 a month!

Well I submitted a claim on 15 January I was told that the check went out on the 23rd for $115 and today is February 2 and I still have not received the check the turnaround time that I was told was Generally three weeks I wish it was sooner Not pleased
