Worst insurance ever — don’t purchase

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.

What a waste of money!

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!

I had to call twice.

I had to call twice. Followed the instructions given on the first call, but got different information on the second call. Consistency of message would be my suggestion.
