AKC | Pet Insurance Review

JUST RECEIVED RENEWAL NOTICE. A RATE INCREASE OF 58% FROM LAST YEAR. $790 TO $1,248. REASON GIVEN. THEY NOW CHARGE ACCORDING TO SIZE OF DOG AND AGE OF DOG. MY IRISH SETTER IS NOW 6 YEARS OLD WITH NO HEALTH ISSUES. I HAVE HAD THIS INSURANCE FOR 6 YEARS. THIS INCREASE IS ABSURD. I AM NOW LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CARRIER.

I wanted to take time at the end on the year to thank you for the great coverage and the very helpful customer service when calling in. My claims are handled in a very timely manner and I would most definately recommend this Insurance Co

I signed up for the Essential Plus plan almost a year ago and while I've use the coverage for minor issues that have come about, I recently NEEDED the coverage. Sophie, my beagle, sustained a major laceration while running through the woods. She had to be seen on emergency and stayed in the hospital for 3 days due to the extent of the injury (neck area). Not only was customer service excellent in helping me with the claims process but I received a $3,000 check in the mail 9 days after I sent in my claim. Sophie is now doing great (still runs through the woods like a fool) and I was able to pay off my bill at the emergency clinic. I would highly recommend this company to any pet owner!

WE have had a nightmare with the AKC — We are taking to our State Department of Insurance for review. This company needs to be held accountable. I would suggest any other provider BUT the AKC. I have dropped the AKC insurance because "seperate incidents" the AKC considered one and DENIED my claims! They have PER INCIDENT LOOP HOLE -- WATCH OUT for that! Wish I knew that. Our experience is they even denied euthanasia for my beloved pet. This is with teh AKC WELLNESS PLAN as well -- the most enriched plan available. I thought I had good coverage EXCEPT the AKC has a HUGE LOOP HOLE that puts everything as ONE INCIDENT and then they DENY the claim- even when they have separate illnesses and DOS listed on the EOB they PREPARED and clearly they are not the same incident. STAY AWAY from this provider if you truly want to have your pet insured. Many other providers with excellent COVERAGE. I found this site fabulous here to be very helpful during my pursuit in finding a new insurance providers for my pups. For myself I selected Embrace that does not have the PER INCIDENT LOOP HOLE!! AKC has been a horrific experience, a huge expense and provided heartache and a PREMIUM cost! I don't wish that on anyone.

Poor Customer Service, Poor Claim Processing, Denied Claims, Long Hold Times, Many Loop Holes in Policy and slow paying IF they ever decide to pay. I have cancelled after many problems with the AKC Insurance. They are the worst all the way around. Read reviews available before engaging with the AKC and become educated in what you are engaging in. Wish I had! I had multiple policies and cancelled every one of them and moved over to Embrace who exceeds all expectations and remain thrilled I cancelled the AKC. My headache is now over since I moved away from the AKC Pet Insurance.
