You pay for what?

TERRIBLE experiences with them. You pay for coverage and they cover next to nothing. They keep trying to get you to upgade to something that doesn't cover what you need either. They deny often and you get tiny reimbursements. We are definitely looking elsewhere.

6 year customer

I've had this insurance for almost 6 years now. For the first 5 years I thought it might be a bit expensive for my needs, but I was still satisfied overall. However, over the last year, when my pup succumbed to bad allergies, I am especially pleased with this insurance. This company has very quickly reimbursed me, no questions asked, with coverage amounts even higher than what I was expecting.

Completely deceptive coverage and…

Completely deceptive coverage and reimbursement policies. The only scenario in which this policy makes sense is if your dog has multiple, different, health issues per year. A single, life threatening malignancy that required $5K in treatment was reimbursed for $500 because it was a "single incident"

AKC pet insurance is no longer any good. 10 years ago, they were great. As of 2-3 yrs ago, pretty bad.

I've had AKC insurance for over a decade. Up until 3 years ago, they handled claims quickly, fairly, and now that has all changed. On a $2400 vet bill, I got back about $330. I have two policies, and all the bells and whistles. My monthly premium is slightly over that. I spoke to them, got nowhere. They only pay out $50 for an exam, when in the NE it costs almost $200 for a dog. They don't cover a lot of things that they used to. My dogs are 3 and 4 and my cats are 3. So its not an old age thing nor pre existing conditions. I did shop around, got a lot of quotes, settled on Pet's Best.
