AKC | Pet Insurance Review

I have two giant breed dogs (a Great Dane and a St. Bernard)insured with them and have had no problems with coverage for anything. I chose the most extensive plans to ensure as much benefit as was necessary in case of problems. As with all contracts, you should READ THE FINE PRINT for the coverage start date and what exactly will be denied (existing conditions, age-related dz, etc.). It's not difficult to mull through or understand. Insurance is definitely worth the money if you have dogs that weigh 150+ pounds and every medication is weight-dosed. :)

I paid for AKC petpartners for 3 years & everything was OK until I had claims. It took 2 months to process my first claim, they limited coverage to "reasonable & customary", and their deductible & copay creeped up since I started with them. Most frustrating were added exclusion clauses when I renewed. Bottom line for over $1,200 in treatments I was reimbursed less then $300. Don't do it - This wasn't worth the paper work hassle, years of monthly payments & claims frustration. You are better off to start a monthly savings bond direct deduct to cover unplanned vet expenses in lieu of the monthly payment. Their exclusions are extensive.

The policy I bought was overpriced, but the customer service was wonderful. Easy to terminate during the 30 day money back guarantee; one e-mail and the policy was terminated and full refund applied. I would consider them if the premium was affordable.

Have never had a claim denied and am almost an obsessive pet owner. If Macy sneezes we go to the vet! Very happy with the coverage. I am on the most expensive plan though.

I tried the "free" insurance provided by pet partners, activating it on the morning of March 18th....on April 18th I took my puppy in for Cystitis and got her cared for, but Pet Partners refused to cover the cost of care, saying that my coverage didn't start until the 19th following their "30-day waiting period"...and it took over a month for me to get a response!I am glad I let this coverage lapse and would not recommend this coverage to anyone. PetFirst is much better...go with them!
