AKC | Pet Insurance Review

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.

Have had this insurance since I got my st. bernard when he was 8 wks. got the policy that covers heartworm prev. and frontline. and after five years have had to use insurance for growth removal twice. I had no problems sumitted my claim and within 2-3 weeks recived my check.We had a st. before this one and the medical expense we had with him was very high wish I had this insurance for him. Best thing I ever did.

Got this policy from the AKC when I registered my puppy. Never received the actual paperwork outlining the limitations of the policy, but did receive a notice that there was an annual $100 deductible fee. At the end of August, my puppy had to go to the emergency vet because he was vomiting, and the bill was $186 (the vet also cleaned out his ears at the same time). I submitted the bill and the claim form by fax, not once but twice. Three weeks later they returned the form by mail, and I sent it right back by regular mail. Three weeks later, I got a letter saying they were processing the claim, and I would get a check in four weeks. When I called to ask where my check was, they said they had contacted the vet to "investigate" the claim, but that they would pay me $2.00 that had been approved. Subsequently, I called the vet to ask if he had received an inquiry, and he said he had not! I cancelled the policy by e-mail, and I have contacted the AKC. This plan is a rip-off!!!!
