AKC | Pet Insurance Review

I am very upset with my AKC Wellness-Dog Pet Health Ins Plan. This is my first year with Dog Insurance. My insurance has a $125 deductible, $13,000 limit, $5,000 limit per illness or injury, 20% Co-insurance, covers annual wellness visit and shots, and twelve months supply of flea prevention. I paid $636.00 for one year, that will end in March 2010. During this year, my pup had to have a small growth taken off the side of his nose. The cost was $386, including Histopathology-Fullwritten Biopsy work on the lump, 6 mos. of Advantage, Dental cleaning, Medicine, Blood work and the initial Physical Exam. It was a normal growth, nothing bad. The Insurance Company reimbursed me $209.42. I had to pay the $125 deductible and my 20% Co-Insurance. They did get that to me in approximately thirty days. They still have to pay for his Annual shots, before March this year, too. I just recieved my renewal notice and they have increase my fee to $965.00 Annual. That's a $329 increase! So every year are they going to continue to increase this? I am very upset and will probably look else where for Pet Insurance. You can bet I will be telling everyone not to waste their time or money buying AKC Pet Insurace. I am rating them a 1 because I do not like how they raise the renewal fee $329 in one year!

Have had AKC insurance on two dogs for several years. Have not had any problems with reimbursement. Reimbursement has been prompt and accurate (80% after $125 annual deductible). Planned to renew, but bill just arrived and they increased premium by $251 a year each. This is $251 OVER the online price for new customers. Considering other options!

Our year old german shepherd had this insurance when he had a horrible accident in the woods, with a complex abdominal cut and tear. They were helpful with good communication, and paid for his very extensive vet care. ONly reason I switched was that they don't cover genetic conditions.

I have a 2 yr old black lab, have had this ins since she was 8 weeks..they are the worse, they recently got bought by another ins co. I am still wating for a claim i filed in Dec. they faxed the vet wanting every single medical record on her WHY????They won;t return my calls, they apparently did not get all records from previous underwritier..DO NOT BUY THIS INS!!!!!!!!!!

I've had great experiences with AKC Pet Healthcare. I have the Essential Plus Plan. I like the $125 yearly deductible. My English Bulldog had two separate eye injuries and they paid everything, less my deductibles. They also pay for her continued eye checkups and medicine related to that incident. I've never had a problem not receiving documents from them. It takes about a month from the time I submit to receive reimbursement.
