Forget this one
Tess had been my husbands dog and a 4th generation doberman from our line. In transferring her ownership I was offered insurance through AKC. I got it and it turned out she developed wobblers, nothing we'd seen in the line before. Anyway they had a 30 day waiting period and it developed on day 30. I'd taken her in but...they'd not cover due to it being in waiting period.

Excellent plan,excellent service
We have had Grace covered from the trial period on. She is eight now and has had several occasions that required the use of her coverage. She just had TPLO surgery to repair a torn ligament and meniscus in her left knee. The coverage allowed us to choose this more expensive operation over a cheaper option that had less chance of success for her age and weight. Very happy with the service.

BEWARE
Oh, indeed! In fine print they squish CANCER to an "incident" and apply a "cap" of $5,000 to very costly coverage at max $13,000, an $8,000 gap they must know WELL is totally inadequate and deliberately constructed.

My Experience - AKC was like having NOTHING
The AKC per my experience is the worst. They denied claims, very disorganized, has rude customer service, and does a total dis-service to the name AKC. Clearly the joke was on me. I have since cancelled the the AKC and moved over to Embrace who is an exceptional provider as my experience with each has "proven". I would never in a million years recommend the AKC for insuring your beloved pets. We purchase insurance to cover our beloved pets and the AKC doesn't provide coverage because the many fine print exclusions -- that has NOT been my experience with Embrace.
