Very pleasant

Cherise was very helpful and answered my questions. Even had to call back to set up my portal account. Very pleasant and easy to speak to. She explained coverage and waiting periods. Very nice.

Awesome service!

Awesome Service! While waiting to be connected to a Specialist, my phone number has been researched and my account found. When the specialist picks up my call, she pretty much knows what I need without me saying. Left me almost speechless! Thank you!

Compare insurance companies

I would recommend checking several other companies before going with AKC insurance. I used AKC for about a year before ending my contract. They covered absolutely nothing. Any labs that were done, AKC said it was a pre-existing condition and wouldn't cover costs. It would be cheaper to save a little every month on your own to cover unexpected costs that way. Our labrador was having some hair thinning on his flanks and the vet recommended a thyroid test. AKC wouldn't cover any of the visit or laboratory costs because they said he has a pre-existing condition (overweight). However, we drew the labs due to symptoms: weight gain, thinning of fur. I would check with other companies on how they handle labs and what they consider "pre-existing."

Monthly Cost

$5 – $90 depending on coverage options chosen.

Coverage

You have a co-pay of 20% after your annual deductible. The pay-out amount is based on your actual vet bill.

Payout Limits

Per incident limit of $1,500 – $8,000 and annual limits of $3,000 – $16,000 depending on your chosen plan.

Deductible

Choose from $100 – $1,000 annual deductible.

Age Limits

Pets must be at least 8 weeks old to enroll with no upper age limit. Coverage options available for senior pets.

Waiting Period

Coverage goes into effect one day after enrollment. There is a 5-day wait period for accident claims and 14-day wait period for illness claims. AKC Pet Insurance provides 30 days of accident and illness insurance coverage included with AKC registration for newly registered puppies.

Exclusions

Pre-existing conditions are not covered. Customizable plans allow you to add-on coverage for inherited and congenital conditions, exam fees and wellness care. Cancer coverage included in base accident and illness plan.
