Fast claim turn around and great coverage

It is easy to tell ourselves during tight economical times that we cannot afford the monthly pet insurance premium. But when you need it, as our Australian Shepherd with cataracts does right now, you will be glad you found a way to do it. Just as for ourselves, pets' - especially aging pets' medical needs must be addressed. We say we love our animals as family. We must provide for them the best we can, and extending quality of life is the way we can do it. Knowing my our dogs are covered by AKC insurance is peace of mind for us.

Reasonable coverage and fair costs

Our golden Retriever was enrolled with PetPartners at eight weeks and continued until her death at exactly eight years. Claims were easy to submit, either by mail or electronically. Payment was always consistent with the policy coverage and exclusions; so no surprises. I had the very best policy with maximum coverage. At her demise the vet bills exceeded $10,000 of which PetPartners reimbursed me $6,000 and even sent condolences at our loss. This insurance is by no means the least expensive one can buy but over the eight years but they have been consistent and I estimate that we received more than we paid in premiums, especially at the last claim. I plan on using they again for our next puppy in August 2015.
