AKC Pet Insurance Reviews

I registered my dog through AKC. He’s a large breed dog and you never know what can happen. I’ve already been able to use the AKC Pet insurance to get reimbursed for shots. All I needed to do was to get an itemized bill from my vet and then I just did the claim online. It was no trouble at all. That was 10 days ago and I got an email saying that it was processed, so I should be receiving it any day.

I’ve had dogs my whole life and sometimes it becomes too expensive when they get sick. When I got my puppy at the puppy store, I found out about AKC. I've had their pet insurance for two years and everything’s been fine with them. I'm happy with the policy. I just pay the monthly fees. My dog is only a puppy so we haven't had any major issues.

I've had AKC for quite about nine and a half years. I learned about it from my breeder that we got our dog from about 10 years ago. I thought a pet insurance was a good idea because of the price of the veterinarian charges. It's almost like going to a human doctor. It's pretty valuable having a pet insurance. We had a Chesapeake Bay retriever about six years ago who had to have a knee operation. I was sure glad I have insurance. So far, I've been happy with AKC but it's getting a little pricey. I have three claims that I'm waiting to hear from right now. Process-wise, it's pretty simple to do it all online. I did my claim for them and the veterinarian itemized the page, scanned it and send it to AKC through the email.

A pet insurance is very valuable. You don’t ever know if there's something you may need. Vet bills are very high. When I got a puppy from the American Kennel Club, I had all the information on it. I've had their pet insurance since June of last year. I drive a semi and Jake was a trucking dog. He was gonna be in a truck and he was gonna be in places where we had him on a leash but he could still be in danger. I wanted to make sure that he was covered. Plus, he had some medical issues that needed to be covered. AKC paid my bills on time and they reimbursed me on time. Everything was good there. I'd recommend them. But Jake died in May and I called AKC about it. He was seven months old. He got really sick and didn’t last a week. I had set up for him to go to a neurologist on a Monday. They were gonna scan him but he died Sunday. The last time I used the insurance was in Iowa, a few days before he died.

I got a dog with AKC papers and I figured it might be a good idea to use their insurance. I used it to take the puppy to the vet because he hurt his leg. Everything worked out good. AKC is great but I only had it for the first 30 days for the puppy.

A vet recommended AKC to us. We customized our plan and the insurance came in handy because my dog ended up having an accident. This was caused by another dog that was aggressive. My dog turned out okay and the claim was handled so well. The fact that you could do it on your own then call and check on it was pretty great.

I like that my pet insurance is through AKC, and the policy is pretty good too. They reimburse really quickly for any of your appointments. Their customer service is really good. They're on call, and they answer your phone call pretty quickly.

There’s a hospital a couple of miles away from us and we got our AKC Pet Insurance through them. We've been with AKC for about 13 years now and we’ve had good experience with them. They’ve been fairly prompt in payment. We also finally worked a deal with the veterinarian where they have all the paperwork and can file it directly online with these people. So, we don’t really have to get involved with the paperwork anymore and it worked out pretty good. We like the insurance and it saves us some money. Our dogs are getting a little older and need more service, so that’s helped a little too. I also got very good customer service every time I’ve had to speak with them. One time, I forgot to cash a check and it expired. I contacted them and I had excellent service about getting the check reinstated and sent to me.

AKC Pet Insurance was made available to me when I got my pet registered. It takes a very long time to get through to them on the phone. Their claims, so far, have not been very efficient. I sent one in and they told me the turnaround time was five days, and it’s been around two weeks now.

AKC has been very good to me. It was very easy to file claims and their customer service had gone just as I would expect it to. My dog had an ear infection and went through some problems with that. It could be better if AKC had a copay instead of filing the claims. But for the price that I’m paying, I hope to at least break even.

AKC Pet Insurance have excellent people. I got my plan where I've purchased the dog from and when I initially called them, they were very professional on the phone. They also gave me a good price and I signed up with them. I have a puppy Boston Terrier and since the vet costs are so high nowadays, I thought it would be nice to have that. Also, when I had to put my other dog down because he had the cancer, it was very expensive. So, I figured I might protect myself against it for a while and see what happens. Having pet insurance is extremely valuable and AKC Pet Insurance has been very good. When I go to the vet, I send the bill to them and they pay me in less than three weeks.

I got my Wirehaired Pointing Griffon from a breeder from Rockland’s Kennel. The breeder already had the 30-day insurance and she told me I have the option to go with others, but she’s always kept this AKC Pet Insurance on her dogs. I just went with it so it worked out. After 30 days, I picked everything because I wanna make sure I have cover for everything. If anything goes wrong, I got insurance. It’s been helpful and we never had a problem. I was able to submit a few of my claims and 14 days, I had a check and I got my returns for whatever additional stuff I had to get back. The last time, I called AKC just to make sure there wasn’t anything I had to do to continue my renewal because my pet insurance had a year passed. I really like and recommend them.

I had a great experience with AKC and having one of their high end policies which covered a lot. However, I had to call them to cancel my policy as I'm semi-retired and I lost one of my sources of income. The gentleman from AKC was so nice and didn't make me feel guilty. He told me that I got a refund for the partial month that I had already pre-paid and to be sure and file any claims that I still had outstanding. During the time when I was with them, it was really easy to file a claim. I would just go online, get a form and fax it to them. AKC would respond quickly. I'd recommend them.

The paperwork at AKC is done efficiently. However, it's not what we think we ought to get back. When they changed from covering the cost at doing dental experiences to a flat rate 50 bucks, it affected us considerably because 50 bucks doesn't get very far in Hawaiian veterinarian processes. If they were paying the percentages like every other problem that dogs would get, it would be a reasonable acceptance. But flat rates for South Carolina and flat rates for Hawaii is a big difference. It's also a silly thing that I can't transfer existing conditions as they won't cover them.

We were provided the AKC pet insurance since we got the dog on the 27th. While AKC does not cover the vaccination, the vet did good work.

We've had AKC for a couple of months and our experience with them has been fine. Their reps have been very helpful.

My first dog came with the trial version of the AKC pet insurance. Having pet insurance is totally valuable and AKC has always been very good with any of the claims I've had. I've never had anything denied that should have been accepted and was part of the plan. So they've always been honest. There's never been any questions on the billing or the claims either. They're also fast responders. The turnaround is usually about two weeks and AKC is very consistent.

I liked AKC's 30-day free start period. So, I signed up with them and I have them for three and a half months now. Having a pet insurance is super valuable and unfortunately, I've already had three claims for my puppy. But AKC's process was super simple and the people I've spoken to over the phone were very courteous. I talked to them about how to file a claim and they've been really helpful walking me through what to do. I sent them over an information then they didn't contact me again. They just sent me a check with a description of what they paid and how it all worked out. So my experience with them has been awesome.

Purchased the dog on 12/16. Enacted the 30 day insurance coverage in the Vet's office on 12/18. Was denied payment for visit because their system did not make us eligible for coverage until 12/20. Dog was sick and needed attention on 12/18 and we registered while at the VET's. Very sleazy company. Will discourage anyone from using or actually thinking they are getting any coverage.

I've been showing dogs since I was a little kid and it's very valuable to have a pet insurance for them. I have rescues but I don't have pet insurance on them. I trust AKC and I have had their insurance for 3 years now. The only problem I've had was when my dog had an accident where she got knocked into the fence. I had to go to our vet who had somebody on call since it was an emergency and it was on a Sunday afternoon. However, that person isn't there anymore so the form wasn't signed and so I didn't get paid back for that one because AKC wouldn't accept it without signature. Other than that, the reps are very easy to get in contact with. Somebody always answers the phone and they normally handle situations well. The paperwork is all fine and either the vet mails it in for me or I do it. Then, they send the check for the part that is theirs.

We bought our dogs from the pet store and they came with the AKC 30-day free trial. I wanted to keep the pet insurance and stay with AKC. They're easy to deal with and really helpful. I made a claim with a couple of my pets, including the little guy, and everything worked out. The insurance was very valuable for the little one.

I am a policyholder of AKC Pet Insurance for about eight months and I find the insurance very valuable for my pets. When my dog ate something, I had to take him to the emergency vet and they kept her overnight. Then, I sent AKC the bill and all the paperwork and I got reimbursed. So far, I have had a good experience any time I've dealt with them.

When I got my dog registered, I received all the paperwork and I've been an AKC policy holder for 4 years now. I just had my first claim with them and that was not the best experience I had. We took my dog in because she had itch-like hot spots on her. The vet told me she thought it was allergy-related and put her on allergy medication. I submitted the claim but they didn’t pay for it. They told me that the secondary issue that the vet said was due to anxiety.

My dog is very sweet, so I needed something for her and AKC Pet Insurance was recommended by AKC. I've been a policyholder for five years now and my most recent claim with them was perfect. I just went there with my card, filled out the paperwork and I was done. Having pet insurance is about the most valuable thing in the planet nowadays.

I upgraded to the more expensive AKC membership package in hopes that this insurance would cover us on our new puppy. To be clear, AKC Pet Insurance is not the same company as AKC, but they partner. Over that first month, after bringing home my 13-week old puppy from the breeder, we incurred hundreds of dollars in medical costs. Amy, the customer service rep at AKC Insurance, found a way to finagle out of every single penny and unless I hire an attorney to further take my time and money, the upgrade wasn't worth it. I suppose I could go back to AKC to tell them my story and ask for a partial refund. Basically, what you'll find is that during your first free 30 days or so, AKC Pet Insurance will claim that any charge within about the first 20 days falls within your "waiting period." There are different versions of how long that period is circulating online. Our rep took the version that favored her company.

The eight-week Boston Terrier puppy that I got came with the paperwork to get her registered to AKC Pet Insurance. AKC Pet Insurance's people were very helpful and nice. However, before I got enrolled, my puppy broke her leg, which made her not covered. That meant I had to pay the cost out-of-pocket so I canceled within 30 days.

I got an insurance from AKC when my dog was a puppy, when AKC Pet Insurance offered the puppy thing. And then, when it came up I thought, "Well, I'll just add it onto my six-year old dog." The AKC name makes me feel comfortable. One of my friends had a dog that had to have ACL surgery and it was $4,000. When you look at the pet insurance, anything can happen, so I just thought it’s like a savings account so you don’t have to look at the dog and question whether or not you're gonna spend the money 'cause you got the insurance for it. The AKC Pet Insurance rep was amazingly helpful because I was very confused about what to get and what to do. She walked me through everything.

I have a working dog and she does tracking. She also runs a lot and does a lot of jumps. I wanted to make sure that I started her on something that would cover any injuries that were to happen. She is generally a healthy dog, although I wanted a security measure. When I registered her at AKC, I got the information for the pet insurance. I thought the rates were decent so I went with them. But my experience was really upsetting and that was the only time I submitted a claim.

I have been an AKC Pet Insurance policyholder since 2015. They have a great reputation, especially for purebreds. The pet insurance is a great safety net to have for my dogs since they are a great investment, and having it is very valuable. It is no different than having insurance on your children.

I had a dog who has a major issue and I made the decision to put him down. But then, I prayed, and things came through, so I decided to get AKC insurance. However, I don’t know how to operate it and it cost me 1,200 bucks at the hospital. Also, their reps are all telling me that my dog was going through this test before they can say that that the problem wasn't what they thought it was. The doctors were supposed to sign the paperwork with the findings but then they're saying they can't verify it. Instead, the doctor asked to do a little more testing. Meanwhile the dog's fine and the doctors and AKC are just passing the buck. I'm probably going to cancel this insurance because it's just a scam. I'm not too happy with this company.

My sister is involved in dog agility and showing dogs and she encouraged me to purchase insurance from AKC. Usually, things happen in the first year or two with the puppies, so it seemed like a good idea. The insurance seemed to work well over the years. My Golden had a shoulder surgery, but that wasn’t covered. But the Valley Fever and thyroid medicine were covered. So overall, the insurance covered a fair amount of extent.

I learned about AKC Pet Insurance online when I registered my dog. I got all my papers from their company so I also went with them. I've been a policy holder for six months now. When I have a question, they answer for me, so it is good. There was once when I had to take my dog to the vet and I had to pay cash. I then sent the papers to the company and they sent me a check.

I'm on my second year as a policy holder of AKC Pet Insurance. We got a new puppy. I bought some pills for heartworm. I filed my app and they gave me my money real fast. The insurance is extremely valuable. It gives me good peace of mind.

I registered my dog with AKC and they had a 30-day free trial pet insurance, then I extended it because I plan to have insurance anyway. I had 2 claims with them and I didn’t have any problems with it. They paid for those claims. My only concern was that premium grows very fast as the dog ages. Other than that, I’m happy with my experience. I discontinued AKC only because my employer recently offered pet insurance in the company.

My husband and I adopted two new dogs, and we felt it best to make sure that these guys were insured. I’ve never had an issue per se, but the only thing that was disconcerting was that when I took them this year for a checkup and submitted the claims, a lot of the things were denied because there wasn’t a full year of time that had lapsed. It was based on scheduling and getting them in to see the vet, and I was disappointed in that. The policy goes from year to year and I need to be more mindful of that in the future. Still, I’ve already recommended friends of mine to look on AKC's website.

When I purchased our dog through Perfect Pup, the first month of AKC Pet Insurance was free with the package of the crate and items that I received from the Perfect Pup. I was busy with my dog as a puppy, so I just took the first month with AKC and then canceled it ‘cause my puppy was very healthy. However, my son had a very bad experience with a dog that had to have eye surgery. It was very unexpected, and he purchased insurance after that. He then told me I should get insurance for my dog, which I did. Not that there was anything wrong with the dog. My dog is four and a half years old now, but we decided that we should because unexpected things come up. My son had an excellent experience with AKC so we went with the same company.

Care for my pet is important. I went with AKC due to the offer that I got through the membership that I have. We made a significant investment into the dog that we bought that we thought we would try AKC and see if it was valuable. I initially called about it and talked to somebody that helped me walk through the plan, and the rep seemed knowledgeable. Time will tell whether the AKC insurance pays for anything. Any insurance is a personal decision, but AKC Pet Insurance is worth looking into.

People had been asking me if I had pet insurance and when I was at the vet a couple of times and was paying the invoice, the office manager asked me the same question and I said no. Then, I thought it was probably a good idea so I got AKC. I've been with them for six and a half years and it's been very valuable. For the first couple of years, they were quite frustrating but in the last couple of years, they had been great.

Having a pet insurance is very valuable but I’ve seen a lot of people with pets with no insurance and they have got to lay out a lot of money. When I adopted my Bloodhound, it was AKC-registered. But AKC could send a booklet about all the benefits I get instead of emails or something a little clearer to understand what I have and what AKC Pet insurance is. Nevertheless, they cover sickness and injuries and it's always good to have.

I had a good experience with AKC Pet Insurance. We had a puppy before and she got really sick so we decided to play it safe with our new one. My breeder where I got my dog from was registered AKC. I’m responsible for the cost and then I’m reimbursed. However, dealing with claims was a little difficult. Some sections of the forms are confusing. My vet tried to figure it out for me, but it ended up just being a big mess and I ended up having to do it all anyway.

We signed up our mini schnauzer puppy for the free month of insurance via AKC registration. The little guy fell off of a bed and fractured his left rear leg (growth plates). After two surgeries and several thousands of dollars in costs, we submitted to AKC Pet Insurance. I heard nothing after the first month, so I called. They advised that they could not open the email sent to them and I had to send it in a different format. I did as requested. After another month and no contact, I called again. I was informed that I missed a waiting day by 1 day so the fracture was not covered.

I got a pet insurance for Pluto through AKC within a month or so after I bought him and AKC ran a great service. I was always assured that Pluto will be covered if anything happened to him. I’m going to recommend AKC to Pluto's new family.

My wife was a breeder of dogs and cats so she knew AKC Pet Insurance for a long time. They were very helpful because my wife had passed just a week before and she was the one who was taking care of the animals and I wasn’t involved with the pet insurance. The day after she died, I had a dog that was in the hospital and needed some surgery. The dog was very healthy and then all of a sudden, he got these fibroid tumors in three different places so we paid in our fortune. But the policy came out pretty well. It was $75 a month. The process was a little slow, but other than that AKC was very thorough and they did exactly what the policy called for. I was very happy with the results.

We've been a policy holder of AKC Pet Insurance for about three years and the insurance has been good to us because it's been one problem after another. When you submit for the claim, they might have a question but so far, they have paid every claim that we've put in. Our puppy has stomach issues and then he had a blown disc jumping off the bed and needed surgery. It was like $6,000. The paperwork was submitted and AKC paid for what the share that the contract says. You have to be diligent and get your paperwork in there to them and then they take care of it. They send out the check for the amount that the contract says.

When I wanted some insurance for my dog just in case, I evaluated AKC Pet Insurance's services and cost and theirs were the best. The vet has all the forms and they send everything to AKC, and then AKC usually sends a check within three or four days. Hopefully, I don’t have to use the insurance but they’ve just been good to work with that’s why I’m staying with them.

AKC seemed like they would be reliable. They offered us insurance and we thought we would try. However, it doesn't seem like the price every month is justifiable. My dog is nine months old and when she gets older, I won't wanna insure her because she'd be more expensive. Still, we've had AKC for a few months and the people have been very pleasant and nice.

Our experience with AKC insurance started okay, but is now a disaster. My wife and I had insured our AKC registered dog from day one with maximum benefits and all add-ons available at the time. We noticed recently that they had started offering a product with no lifetime limits and immediately upgraded (before the end of our current plan year). First, we were not told that we would pay an additional deductible - that was an unpleasant surprise. Then even though we upgraded to no lifetime limits, AKC is now digging back into our dog's medical record under the old plan to impose a cap based on a preexisting condition! Even though he has had continuous coverage with their own company since he was 8 weeks old! Do not buy this insurance. Go with a bigger, well-established company.

I don’t want anything to happen to my pet and he’s my first pet, so I've decided to continue the AKC pet insurance he has from Petland. The customer service from AKC was good and it wasn’t a handful when trying to get questions answered. They knew what they were talking about and they broke down any information that they had to tell me. A pet insurance is valuable to have, and AKC is a good company to go with.

We've had the 30-day pre-insurance plan with AKC but we're not planning on keeping it because of the price. Still, it's very valuable. Plus all of our experiences with AKC have been great. We have new Boxer puppies and they are registered so they helped us through the process. They helped us understand how to register all of the necessary information should either or both of them get lost or stolen.

I have a Golden Retriever that is nine months old and you never know what you’re getting into especially with this dog. AKC Pet Insurance came through after we put our dog's name in and then they sent us a bunch of stuff. When I signed up, I talked one on one with a really nice fellow. They're a great organization and I appreciate everything they’ve been doing. They are very informative and want people to understand the nature of dogs. We get emails about bringing your dog to socialize at a certain places, and they have festivals on weekends too.

When I registered my puppy with AKC, they automatically asked me if I wanted to get started with the pet insurance and gave me the free 30-day trial. I got the wellness and sickness plan for my dog and when he got his shots, I went for the wellness check and got heartworm and flea and tick medicine. I emailed AKC Pet Insurance the scans of my receipts from the veterinarian's office as well as the form and five days later, they sent me a check for the amount. It was really good, fast and easy. I like AKC Pet Insurance and I see high value in it. It's a good precaution.

AKC Pet Insurance was part of the package when I registered my 16-month old white Standard Poodle dog with AKC. It was just a trial basis. He did get sick and I’m still waiting for a claim. I filed a claim three weeks ago and have heard nothing, just that it was received. I have not had any positive experience with AKC so far. I don’t think I would use them again because they are not efficient or there’s no communication.

My dog is registered with AKC Pet Insurance and I rate them high.

I dropped by the clinic because my German Shepherd, Cena, was coughing too much. I got an insurance but the problem was the $1,000 per incident. I heard AKC Pet Insurance with the AKC people. I said, “Let me try them.” Their rep told me that it’s $250 out of pocket and that’s what I started with. They told me I'd get the papers as soon as I do the first payment, which I did. However, I haven't received the papers yet. AKC gave me the number of that insurance. I called them and then I called today and they told me that I should call at 10:00 Eastern time. I did but nobody answered the phone. So far, that’s what I’m waiting for, but I haven't used it yet.

When I registered my dog with the AKC, a 30-day certificate came with it. During that 30 days, I had to file a claim and the experience was fantastic, so I stayed with them. I wanted a policy so that if anything happens with my dog, it would help cover my expenses. Having a pet insurance is very valuable especially since my dog tends to get his nose into everything that we see outside. He has picked up a few things that he should not have picked up that I was not able to get away from him. He also had an eye infection when he rolled around in the dirt. So, the insurance has been a really big help for me.

I got my dog registered with AKC just in case something happens to him. I make my payments and they get the job done.

I registered one of my dogs through AKC. They give a 30-day free medical insurance coverage with the registration trying to get you to buy a policy. I made a claim during that 30-day period. I've never had pet insurance before especially with these many animals. I have five dogs and it has always seemed to be a little too expensive for what you could potentially get. I saw an opportunity to see how pet insurance was gonna work and if it wasn't like an extended warranty insurance you get for your car where the first time you tried the claim, the warranty company found some reason not to cover it. I had 30 days free and then I would have to pay a premium if I wanted to continue my coverage. I found it a little peculiar that nobody contacted me if I was gonna pick the policy up and what it would cost.

When I registered my dog with AKC to get the AKC papers, they had an insurance that I could purchase for my dog and I took the opportunity of doing that. Having the insurance is very valuable if my dogs are sick. I've been a policyholder with AKC for two months now and I've already filed a claim with them to use the insurance for the vet. The process of filing a claim was very painless. I called their 1-800 number and talked to their rep, and they emailed me the forms. I filled these out and brought all these to the vet, then I sent these in to AKC. I breed dogs and sell puppies, and I would recommend AKC Pet Insurance to everybody.

You can get different insurance policies and you can get one for everything but it costs a lot of money. I've had the insurance with AKC for over 10 years now and it protects my dog. Sometimes people think I’m getting robbed. But if you’re covered for the right things, it works and AKC comes through when the dog gets sick. My insurance doesn't cover visits but they cover the serious stuff, like operations. When my dog had a fatty tumor growth on his back leg, he had to have it cut off and AKC covered me for that. They sent me a check and paid right away.

We’ve been pet owners for over 30 years and we’ve had four dogs in that amount of time. They’ve all been large dogs and some lived as long 17 years. Some were healthy while others had some health issues down the road. There were times when we wished we had insurance with some animals but other times, it wouldn’t have paid off because we wouldn’t have needed it. But like with people, we have insurance so that if we ever need it, it’s there. If we don’t need it, that’s great.

AKC Pet Insurance is great to have. I got it through the breeder that I bought my dog from. I trusted its brand. They’re a good company. So go ahead and join them. They were always good to me.

My rescue got microchipped at the vet for $75 and it had a yearly fee. I ended up getting a puppy at eight weeks old and the breeder uses the AKC chips so, when Ann, my rescue, had her litter, he helped me go through AKC Pet Insurance to get the AKC chips because they had a one-time fee. I rescued another hound dog and he was the first dog I have that’s AKC-registered and has an AKC chip in him. I just tried the free 30-day but didn’t keep it. I didn't really need it since my vet was reasonable and he isn’t very expensive. If I had a big emergency or something with one of my dogs, it wouldn’t matter what the price was. He would take care of them and I could pay him. If you live in a big city where vets and stuff are expensive, then it’s probably a good idea. But out here where I live, doctor claims are pretty good.

My dog was already enrolled to AKC Pet Insurance when I bought her. Their customer service is great. Any question I have, they’re always very friendly and they answer me. And in any questions, they’re always pleasant and polite. I always recommend AKC. I had a good experience with them and I’ll just keep them. I wish it's a little bit cheaper but it’s good. It’s so expensive but it’s like you cannot have it. And the cost is not as much as I would have to pay full price for a surgery, which she had been through.

We had a friend who had a dog that broke its leg and it was a very expensive endeavor. So, I got pet insurance. With AKC, I did it in one phone call and used my credit card and it was pretty easy. We have a policy that includes major critical illness type stuff. It's very valuable and definitely gives us peace of mind.

I received my puppy and AKC was the only option available at first, but it was very convenient. Their customer service was responsive. They answered questions I had at the time and I recommend it.

My dog is registered with AKC and I heard about their pet insurance from them. I got the policy and when I applied to get reimbursed for one of my dog's treatments, I got reimbursed with no problems. I want to take care of my dog as I'm on a fixed income and he is my service animal. Working with the customer service reps at AKC was wonderful. They answered my questions and though I didn't know they were going to pay for part of the medication that my dog had, they did. They let me know exactly what was going on and what was authorized with my insurance.

When I registered my puppy through AKC, I saw an advertisement for their pet insurance and I got a policy from them. But after three months of having the policy, I had to cancel it because I couldn’t afford it, although I thought I could. When I contacted them to cancel my policy, my experience with the rep was pretty good.

My other pets that passed away needed operations then. So, when I got a new one, I got an insurance and went with AKC Pet Insurance. The initial sign up process was easy. I just did it online. I've been a policy holder for two years now and they’ve been fine, so far. I pay them monthly and it's just there if I need it.

We had a French Bulldog and when the breeder we bought it through registered the dog with AKC, the insurance information transferred simultaneously. All we had to do was call within 24 hours to activate it. However, we just got all the insurance initially because it was easy. Everything had to be done so quickly and I hate being out of the gun like that. With one of our dogs, we got the insurance within 24 hours. With the other, I didn't and I felt like I was working for the American Kennel Club. I decided it was too much work so I canceled all the policies. Nevertheless, the people on the phone for them were very nice. Those working with AKC better be ready to spend a ton of time to get all of their stuff documented.

My dog is a four-and-a-half-year-old Bichon who hasn't been in good health. My husband who's a physician brushes her teeth at least three times a week. However, she had to have 16 teeth extracted because of overcrowding in her mouth and they had to be extracted under anesthesia at the vet's office. The procedure would cost $800 and when I called AKC Pet Insurance, I was told it was not covered. The policy stated that the only time that anything involving teeth was included was when it was due to an accident, which I didn't think that was fair and I felt it should be considered because hers was not due to any type of dental disease. There was no form of gum disease or dental decay. If someone would ask me about AKD, I'd tell them to read the contract very carefully before they go on board.

We got an AKC Pet Insurance when we had our dog, who is about three years old now. I had a dog who had a very, very expensive illness and that was the reason that we decided to get insurance this time. AKC Pet Insurance was just what we expected.

I bought a puppy and when I registered it, I could choose from different things and that’s how I found out about the pet insurance for the first time. There were 3 or 4 different options and AKC has 30 days free pet insurance for accidents and illnesses. I didn’t actually get to use it before it ran out, but I was glad that it was there. I called the vet one time to inquire about plans and prices and it is so expensive. So, having pet insurance is very valuable.

I have large breed dogs and I talked to some people from the UK where it was very common to have pet insurance and they suggested I get one. AKC Pet Insurance was AKC-affiliated which gave them credibility and I’ve had them for at least 10 years. To process it, I take the dog to the vet and I hand in the insurance form. They have it on file which is nice and they fill it out and send it in. Then, I pay it at the time of service and they send me a check. I don’t have to wait too long for the reimbursement. They also send a note in the process that we received it. My vet now emails or faxes it so it’s even faster.

When I registered my dog with AKC, I was given information on the pet insurance. AKC Pet Insurance had a discounted rate for starting. I have a show puppy and I was worried if something big would happen.

We have a $4,000 dog so I looked into pet insurance which i very valuable and I kept seeing AKC. I got a puppy package from them so that every time I would go to the vet, there is no charge.

I have a dog I purchased from a breeder and there was an AKC Pet Insurance certificate for the first month. My past dogs are all older and pet insurance wasn’t a thing when I had them, so I got one for security. It's highly valuable.

My wife and I paid a decent amount for our first dog and I thought that if was gonna spend that much on a dog, I might as well pay a couple of bucks a month too if anything bad happens. So, I Googled “pet insurance” and AKC was one of the first ones that came up. It’s a reputable name and if your dogs are pure-bred and recognized by AKC, I assumed that that was a good thing. I have their policy for two years now and so far, my experience with them has been good. The last time I called them was to see if I could lower my rates. For the first two years, I have $15,000 in total coverage for each dog. My dogs are relatively healthy so I wanted to bump that number down to see if I could get the monthly premium to come down a little bit. They worked the numbers with me and we came to a number that came down to $15 a pet a month and that was fine for me.

We purchased pet insurance over a year ago for our Rottweiler. He is now almost 2. We've been paying $38/month with a $500 deductible. I knew neutering was not part of my plan, nor exams. Over the past year we have spent about $3000 in vet bills. We had x-rays to check for hip dysplasia because he was limping. I was not aware the x-rays are related to that condition it was not covered. We had the x-rays when he was neutered. He suffered a dog bite three days prior to being neutered. I was initially told that would be covered. The expenses were over $700. He needed sutures, an exam and medication. They tested him for Lyme disease due to his limping. With all these vet bills and us paying $38/month for over a year I was only reimbursed $18.77.

Dogs don’t live long enough, but we had decided that we would never put them through any kind of painful experience. If they had cancer, we would never put them through any kind of chemo or surgery. That’s not what we believed on what they’re here for. We’ve lost three that had passed on their own. I love them more than I love most people. We got pet insurance to save money and have time to treat our dogs with the basic and take money and have them, keep them and love them.

It's very important to have pet insurance. I wanted to make sure my dog is taken care of and I had a pretty good experience with AKC Pet Insurance. I had to call several times and give them my e-mail since it was not changed properly, but other than that, I’d recommend them.

I have a pet that I have for a while and she’s close to two. I saw what all the people paid for if anything went wrong with their pets, so I thought I'd get a pet insurance. I went to the AKC website and I assumed that they knew what they were talking about. They're a pretty large company and if they were endorsing something, it should be good. So, I went and got a policy with them and I have it for four months now. Their reps have been very nice and easy-going, too.

We ended up getting a new puppy and the one-month free trial with AKC was part of the whole enrollment. There was one time I may have actually needed it. I called to figure out what was going on but the woman said I needed to call a week prior to activate everything before I had a problem with my dog. So I couldn't even take advantage of it. But the woman was nice. She at least got me enrolled and explained how everything works.

I registered a Border Collie and then AKC Pet Insurance came up on the computer so I took it. I’m glad I did because right after I got the free insurance, I got into a car accident and my dog was hit by one of the airbags. I didn’t even think to call them, but then I remembered getting it when I registered her, which was shortly before the accident. I called them up and asked them if I was eligible for that and they said yes. I sent in everything and they gave me part of the money back, which was fantastic. Their rep was really good. He told me what I needed to do and he sent me the forms to fill out right away. The process was really easy.

My eight-year-old Doberman died of meningitis hemiplegic anemia about eight weeks ago and I had to have him put down. It was very expensive and I paid for all the treatments that my dog needed, but it would’ve been nice to have some reimbursement for some of that treatment that I had to pay out. So, I decided that my next dog would have insurance. AKC is so trusted that it made sense that their insurance would be trusted. I did everything online when I got their policy and their website was very user-friendly. I have it for about six weeks now and I haven't used it yet because this puppy is extremely healthy. I would recommend AKC.

My experience with AKC Pet Insurance has been good. My dog is 10 months old and I’ve been with AKC for 10 months too. I had a Schnauzer before him that was 15 years old and Schnauzers are prone to have a lot of issues and I didn’t have insurance with him and I wished I had. So, I just went ahead and got a pet insurance for my new dog since the get-go. I had him neutered and I’ve had a flea and tick and heart medicine with him, and every time I’ve had him to the vet they’ve always reimbursed me quickly.

It's extremely valuable to have pet insurances. We need them. We've had AKC Pet Insurance since 2008 and they were very good recently. They did all what they could for the final arrangement. I would surely recommend AKC.

My dog’s AKC registered and I had some insurance then. However, the pet company never sent any information, I assumed I don’t have insurance through them so I decided to go ahead and take an insurance out on my dog. My friend have insurance with AKC Pet Insurance, so I just changed insurance over to them. It was easy signing up with them. So far, I’m satisfied with them from what I’ve read through the computer of what they cover and what they don’t. It’s been good, so far. it feels comfortable knowing that he’s insured if something happens.

My dog is AKC-registered so I just went ahead and went with AKC Pet Insurance. I've been with them for half a year and thankfully, I haven't had any experience yet but I'd recommend it.

I first heard about AKC Pet Insurance through the registration packet that I got when I registered my dog with AKC. I talked about AKC Pet Insurance with my vet and the breeder and I thought it was a good place to start. Also, the vet's good and well-respected. I had an accident the beginning of this month and I was so glad to have the coverage. It helped out tremendously and it's been a very quick recovery. It was a great experience.

I googled AKC Pet Insurance when I got my puppy 'cause he's AKC-registered. I've had it for two years and two months and I had an easy experience, but it was difficult on the vet once or twice because they weren't sending in the right diagnostic codes so they had to resend them. Then ten minutes that they were sent, they got me a check immediately for what was covered. Having pet insurance is valuable, especially if you have doctors.

Our dog was an AKC bred dog, so we immediately were interested in that AKC pet plan insurance policy. We got the paperwork and we've been a policyholder for 11 years now. They process claims timely and we didn't have any issues. Our dog just recently hurt her foot ankle and she had to have some x-rays. And the process has been streamlined immensely - just scanning the claim forms now, and not having to mail them. We got the check and reimbursement in a record time as well.

Our second dog died of cancer and we spent a lot of money in that. So, when we got our third dog, the breeder got pet insurance for us and it was AKC. When our dog ate our Christmas tree, he needed a bunch of surgeries 'cause there was wire in his stomach, and AKC was right there. They helped us through the whole thing. Our dog was pretty sick and we almost lost him and AKC came through with flying colors. AKC also put our dog's picture in an ad and told our story, and it was nice. My wife and I were in the picture as well. We recommend anybody to get the insurance if they have a dog or a puppy because the dogs are mischievous. Anyone who doesn’t get this for their pets are playing with fire. Every dog has issues and it can get expensive.

When I registered my dog, I learned about AKC. I was given the 30 days of free veterinarian insurance and it was good. I used the trial and I did not sign up for more insurance as I didn’t want a monthly bill. When I used the trial, I paid $100 out of my pocket for a claim and I felt that my bill was more than that. But when AKC went through it, they said the bill was a $96 thing, and so it was all my bill.

We've always had our dogs registered with AKC and Kercy is our fourth corgi. We got the insurance when he was less than a year old and he's four now so we don't quite get to the deductible. We've used it for routine stuff except for some allergy medicine and they did an X-ray to make sure he didn’t have a blockage in his bowel at one point. It turned out to be nothing serious and the vet put him on a prescription dog food. He’s been fine since then. The insurance is worth it. For the first three pets we had, there were issues with kidneys, etcetera when they got to their last couple of years and we found ourselves spending more money at that point. I figured that this time we would go ahead and get the pet insurance in case anything like that happened. I would also recommend AKC.

I had a dog two years ago that passed away and I spent thousands of dollars because I was so devoted to the dog. I did everything I could even though I knew she was terminal. I heard about AKC Pet Insurance through the American Kennel Club and I decided to purchase their insurance for my other dog. She is only a year old now so I changed the deductible. Other than that, I have no issues with AKC and I would recommend them.

When my dog got her Canine Good Citizen Award, I got AKC Pet Insurance information that came in the pack. It seemed like a good deal and I trusted the AKC name. In fact, my veterinarian daughter suggested it. I lost two dogs of old age to seizures in the past two years. I have a new puppy and I thought now is the time to get an insurance because it might allow us to do more for her as she ages. She's only 21 months old now, so we don't expect a lot of years for it yet. I'm new to this and I'm a retired person on a fixed income, but I want to give the best for my pets as they age. Moreover, their customer service team was extraordinarily nice. I have my billing taken out of my credit card, and my card got hacked. AKC called to say that the payment didn’t go through and they were extremely helpful in dealing with the setup of my new card.

When I first got my dog, I registered him with the AKC and they sent me something in the mail that said, "You get two free months of pet insurance." My dog is now 13 years old so I've had this insurance for 13 years. In the last few months, I've had a lot of claims so I have a lot of experience with them. They have gotten a lot better. When I first had them, they took a long time to pay the reimbursement. But they've gotten quick about it, usually within a week or two. Worst case, it will take them three weeks to pay on the claim.

We looked into insurance policy because of the bills. Dogs are my life and they're expensive to raise and take care. So, we shopped around and saw AKC Pet Insurance online. They had their offer, I grabbed it and I've been a policyholder for four years now. My most recent experience with them was when my dog had an allergy. I filled out the claim form and the doctor signed it, sent it to AKC and then they transferred the payment. AKC Pet Insurance is very good. I'm very happy with the way they work.

We purchased our dog from a pet store and we were provided with a free month of insurance from AKC Pet Insurance. Pet insurance was never something we had really considered. But a couple years back my other dog got very sick and it racked up to over $5,000 for a little 14 lb. dog to get better. So, we decided it'd be best to pay a little bit more money in the long run so I stayed with AKC. However, it was a hassle to set up. I called and they said I needed to call somebody else. I would then call somebody else and they would say, "Okay. You need to call them." I would call back and they would say, "No. You needed somebody else." That happened three times. It took me a week and a half to get my insurance set up and I was making a call or two to them every day. Thank God we haven't really needed to use it but, it's been set up and working properly now. Nonetheless, their reps were all super nice.

I've been an AKC Pet Insurance policy holder for a month and a half now. AKC was the best from our options and it sounded like a really good deal so we registered our dog with them and we just went ahead with it. Their enrollment process was super easy. A few weeks ago, our puppy broke her knees and we sent in all the information and a lot of it got covered. Having AKC Pet Insurance is extremely valuable now where prices break up in just two or three weeks after we signed up.

Every German Shepherd I have had has always been AKC registered. For the last German Shepherd I got here, a few months ago when I received the registration in the mail, I also received a 30-day AKC insurance policy which is the first time I knew about the insurance with them. I've been with them since February and I had a claim within three days after I got the insurance because my puppy broke his toe. I felt bad about that but the process went smoothly. And when I called the AKC Insurance helpline and talked to their agents, they were fantastic and made me feel really good about filing a claim within three days of receiving the policy.

We have a Golden Retriever that is a mama dog and we’re breeding her. I wanted to make sure that if anything happens, then I've got insurance for her. Plus, we have another dog that had a traumatic experience and we ended up paying $1700 to save him. So, I got a policy with AKC Pet Insurance and I've been a policy holder for about 6 months now. It’s comforting to know that it’s there.

I haven’t had a pet in a long time but I know some people who do. Something happened to the leg of my friend's dog and she was so thankful that she had pet insurance because it was so much money. I thought it would be a good idea and I made some other cutbacks in my spending so that I can take the insurance out. It has not even been six months since I got AKC Pet Insurance but they were good. Initially, I read some of the consumers’ comments on it and the customer service was very helpful as well. It’s like life insurance more than it is like health insurance. I have a $500 deductible but I may never even use it that often and something may never happen. But there's also that chance where something may happen and it will come in handy.

My registered pet came with AKC insurance that was 30 days free, so we extended it. I have a large breed so, it's fairly important to have it. I've had the policy since January and the coverage seems good. I talked to two different reps on the phone and they were very helpful, informative and knowledgeable. It's a good value and they have professional customer service.

My dog's AKC certified so when she was born, she was covered through the insurance for three months. She was also a sick puppy. She had intestinal issues and if we had changed insurance providers, the policy would not have covered those issues. We've had AKC pet insurance for seven years now and it has been extremely valuable for my dog. They’ve covered everything that we’ve needed, and it has paid for itself more than once over. It’s cost-effective and user-friendly.

A friend of mine had AKC Pet Insurance, and I went ahead and signed up for it after I bought my dog. It’s a good idea to have, especially in the first year or two when you’re still learning if your pet’s going to have any medical problems or allergies, or anything that would possibly be long-term. As far as their service goes, you go to the vet, you send your forms in and then they reimburse your money for whatever they cover of it, whether it’d be all of it or half of it. It was helpful to me when I needed it and I was happy with what I had when I had it. It all seemed fairly simple and straightforward. I had it for a year and I canceled it after as I didn't feel I needed it at this time. My dog got a clean bill of health, and I just didn’t see the point of paying $70 a month for something I wasn’t using or didn’t have a need for. But it's always something I can go back to and get if I feel it being necessary.

I have never had pet insurance but it's good to have. I rescued my puppy, Blake, through the pet shelter and he actually came with the trial on AKC Pet Insurance. It’s also a pet shop, but they have a 501(c)(3) through them and they actually advertised the insurance through the adoption, which was a great plus. What made me stick with the insurance was AKC's excellent customer service. Even when I had some questions during my free 30-day trial, they were always prompt and willing to help. They got back to me nicely and always gave me explanations about claims.

When I got my dog, I was given a month of insurance through AKC for free. It was easy to sign up and get him all situated. When that one month expired, AKC offered the best deal and coverage for what I was going to pay. I have been a policyholder since August of last year. French Bulldogs have a lot of sensitivities and I have one, so it's an obvious choice for me to have a coverage and I know he's going to need the preventative care that they provide with one of their descender plus programs.

When I brought my new puppy home, the breeder had given me a folder so that I could finish registering her. AKC Pet Insurance was in there because they give 30 days free so my breeder said to me to sign up for it, see what I think then decide on what I want to do. I’ve never had a pet insurance before for my pets but this puppy is pretty delicate and I thought the best thing to do would be to register her with AKC. She’s seven months old now but she’s less than six pounds. She’s just so little and the potential for her to have some issues are up there. This is also my first female and when I looked at the forms, it said that they cover spaying as well. Their coverage looked really extensive and I liked that.

A pet insurance is valuable and when I got my puppy, the breeder has told me about AKC Pet Insurance. I was a policyholder for a year, but finances dictated that I needed to drop it for right now.

I registered my little Min Pin with AKC Pet Insurance. I've been under their service for two and a half years and I haven't had any problems with it. I recommend AKC. They've been around for a long time and they're very reputable and dependable.

I have been with AKC Pet Insurance for two years now. It was referred by a breeder. In general, their service has been fine. But recently, my dog came down with a hereditary disease and AKC failed me on that end. But I didn't bother to bring that up with them because they told me that it was their stated policy that they didn't insure dogs with hereditary problems. Other than that, I was very pleased with them overall. But I would tell others to investigate if they have a policy that includes hereditary diseases.

I signed up with AKC Pet Insurance when I adopted my pup. I've had the policy for two months, and I recently filed a claim and I'm waiting for them to answer because they asked for additional documentation from the vet. But so far, I've had a satisfactory experience.

When I got my dog on November 14th, I stopped by the desk and they recommended me to AKC Pet Insurance. I looked at a different provider but AKC gave me more stuff. I love my little rascal and I don't want anything to happen to him and by getting the insurance, I'm protecting him. AKC has been a good help and I'll recommend them.

I registered my puppy and found out about AKC. I have been a policyholder since December. The reps were informative and so far, my experience with AKC has been very good. AKC is good for a puppy and others should try it.

I had a German Shepherd who was seriously injured when he was four months old and I decided that I might try and defer some of my pet expenses in the future. Having a pet insurance is very valuable and I've been with AKC Pet Insurance for a couple of years now. Every time I've tried to contact them, their staff has been very helpful, polite, and assistive so, that's a pleasant surprise. My shepherd had some cysts which ended up having to be tested and removed. I thought the cysts were cancerous but they weren't. After I submitted the claim and all the medical records to AKC, they paid out and didn't give me any problems. They were great and provided very good service.

I bought a puppy and the kennel where we got her gave us a 30-day free AKC insurance. That was in September and then we continued it after the 30 days. But I thought that when I registered her, it covered back to the date that we actually assumed ownership from the kennel. I got her some shots and when I submitted that particular bill, AKC declined it because she wasn't covered, which I didn't really understand. So there was a little gap in coverage there. Maybe the kennel should've made it more clear to me.

I registered my Yorkshire terrier online at AKC. I liked the references that I read about them. I’ve been a policyholder since December. They were quick to get me my money for my claim. That didn't take them 30 days like some companies. I'm satisfied with it. I had a great experience with AKC Pet Insurance.

One girl that I worked with had a dog that needed a $7,000 neck surgery. I can take care of my dog's wellness, but I don't want to get hit with a bill like that. With that in mind, I decided to have pet insurance and although I didn't take the best policy, I took a decent one. I got my dog in November and the first month with AKC was free then I got my new policy on December 28. I had looked around at some other ones but I decided to stay with AKC. I'm satisfied with them so far. I sent one claim for my dog's eye and filing it was easy. He got an infection after he got his rabies shot. I have a five day waiting period on my policy and now, they're determining whether that's going to be covered or not.

We've been with AKC Pet Insurance since I got my service dog three years ago and my recent experience has been frustrating. I submit my claims and they give back whatever, minus my deductibles. There are times when I think something is covered but it's not. There are reasons why and I get that. But it’s just like any other insurance policy. It hasn't been much of a benefit but it's good to know that the insurance policy is there in case of an accident.

I bought an AKC Shepherd in late November. When I first signed up for AKC, they gave me the free pet insurance and I have used it. I bought a new crate and my pet punctured a hole through her nose. The insurance honestly only covered $11 of $240 that's why I didn't continue with it. I know that they have a monthly plan but it was a free pet insurance. $11 is $11 in my pocket. I didn't continue with the plan because if I were to pay monthly for it and were to have another emergency that was $600, getting $50 back would not be very substantial for putting out a monthly fee. Even so, I'm still very pleased with AKC. I love receiving the emails of all the different things that you can do with the AKC registration. My pet has gone to three different veterinary clinics. They all said she's in excellent shape which I don't know if that's because of AKC or just good breeding. I'm very happy with AKC and already told several people about it.

AKC was very helpful. My credit card keeps on getting compromised so I called them up to give them my new credit card number. I could scan stuff in and they send me a notice that they got it, and then I get paid quickly. Their servicing end has been very good. I’ve been a policy holder for 15 years with my last dog and nine years with my current dog. The insurance was very valuable with my last dog because he got cancer but not as valuable with my current dog. And they are expensive. The prices really skyrocketed from the last dog to my current dog. With the next dog, I will probably research rates again.

I have a purebred German Shepherd that's registered to AKA. Usually, when you register a pet, they send you papers of different pet insurance that you might be interested in. AKC was one of them and they had a good recommendation from AKA. I was going over things that I might need for my dog and AKC had a good policy and rates. The premium was pretty much in my budget. I started with them this month.

Over the past years when I've had pets, it had cost me a lot of money so, my breeder advised me that it might not be a bad idea to get a pet insurance for the future. I was with a different insurance company before and when I talked with the breeder, she told me to get rid of that one and go with AKC. Now, all my dogs have been registered to AKC. I'm very happy as far as registering and the whole AKC experience. I've been a policy holder for about three years now. And when I called them to see if I could still turn claims in, they said that I could, which was good. The pet insurance is valuable in the long haul because I know what I've had to put out in the past for my older dogs.

I talked to an AKC rep one day because my credit card got all screwed up with them. She seemed really forgiving and said they understood. They didn’t have an issue with it and they gave me time to get it all straightened out. Then once I got it straightened out, it was great. It was quite an experience with AKC and they just seemed professional. Having a pet insurance is like having health insurance and I would tell friends to get AKC.

AKC was recommended to me by the vet and PuppySpot where I bought my German shepherd. AKC provided a month free and I signed up with them in December. I've had no problems with them.

I bought my first Golden Retriever about seven and a half years ago and when I registered my dog, they sent back some PetPartners insurance. I chose AKC Pet Insurance due to recommendations from my ShareWorld friends. My female dog got into a bunch of fire ants and they really ate her up pretty bad. So, I had to take her to the vet and they had to sedate and clean her up. Then, I filed the claim and they paid two-thirds of it. It's nice knowing that I wouldn't have to pay all of that. I’d recommend pet insurance to everybody. AKC Pet Insurance is easy to use but I wish it was easier to file a claim. In this day of automated everything, this company needs to come into the 21st century and go into electronic filing.

I registered my dog with AKC and they sent me a whole bunch of literature and the information for the insurance was in there. I figured that if this was supported by the AKC, they vetted it. I trust the AKC to do the best for dogs and I would imagine they wouldn’t suggest insurance for dogs unless they had vetted it and knew it was good. I had an experience with my other dog that didn’t have insurance. I didn’t want anything to happen to him that I didn’t have the money for right away and I don't want to go out and borrow. It's easier for me to pay every month a little bit than to come up with $5,000 for an operation on a dog because I’m a retiree. I may never use it and I hope I never do but if I ever have to, I at least have it.

I went online to register my dog and found AKC. I gave them a try as it seemed like the wise thing to do. When you get a new puppy, you have no idea how it's going to turn out. I thought AKC was pretty reliable and I trusted them. I've been with them for about four years now and they've answered my questions. Whenever I didn't understand something, they helped me understand it so things are good. Having a pet insurance is as important as medical insurance on your kids, and I'd do it with AKS again in a heartbeat. I'm happy and I would recommend them.

AKC Pet Insurance's customer service guy was extremely helpful. We got a puppy and through the document that we received, I got that information and I wanted to get more information about it and see if that was something that I would consider for my puppy, which we did. This is the first time I got a pet insurance and the guy was able to explain it to me in different ways that it was clear to me, how it works and what I wanted for my dog. Also, the information that I've received on a monthly basis or every other week regarding my puppy's development and behaviors has been extremely helpful.

Our dog is registered with AKC and I wanted to see if they had insurance and they did, so I had the dog insured. I have one claim in the works right now and their representatives were pretty responsive. For the most part, they were great and everybody was very friendly and professional. I'm very satisfied so far.

I went in to buy a puppy at Petland and although I have never purchased a puppy that expensive, it would be therapeutic for my son who's very special. I bought the package with it and spent $3095 dollars for a Yorkie. That included 30 days AKC insurance and the next pet visit. It already had four shots, a cage and some of the dog food as well. About two and a half weeks later, the puppy started jerking. I had no idea what it was until it foamed at the mouth. That scared me and this was close to midnight on a Saturday. He spent three nights in the pet hospital and pet clinic with IVs. We had to wait a couple of days before he could get an MRI followed by a spinal tap.

I was registering a dog that I had purchased and AKC Pet Insurance came up through the AKC website. They were doing a promo for a month of free insurance so we decided it wouldn't hurt to try them. We got to liking it as during the time our trial period worked, we had an accident with our pup. They were able to tell me what my policy covered. The gal I called on the phone was very helpful, told me everything I needed, and by the next day I had my claim filed. Since then, I've been waiting for a response from them. This all happened between Christmas and New Year. They said it could be 7 to 10 business days. And then, when I called again one more time, the rep said to give them a little bit more time. We've now considered to continue having a pet insurance into the future, and I've recommended AKC Pet Insurance to four people. I've told them it's been great and three have already joined.

My dog is very active as he's in the puppy phase and he is like a family member. When I purchased my dog, I registered him with AKC and since my dog is AKC registered, I went with them for insurance. I’ve been a policy holder for a year now this month. The most recent claim was when I took my dog in because he was vomiting. The vet said he is going to get an x-ray because we thought he had swallowed something and that it might have been stuck in his esophagus but the x-ray didn't show anything. I wanted to make sure exactly what steps and documentation I needed to take in order to file a claim with AKC Pet Insurance, so I called and the lady I spoke to was very helpful and nice. She explained the steps and emailed me the forms that I will need in the future. I wish there was a way that I can do things online instead of having to call, though.

I've been using AKC Pet Insurance for the past seven and a half years and I'm very pleased with their service. I've submitted two claims recently as my dog has a recurring UTI and I've had to take her in quite a bit. For the first several years of her life, she hardly ever went to the vet, but now that she's over seven years old, we're going more frequently. It's a good experience and I would encourage others to use the service.

Originally, we had a huge dog that was injured and I researched on AKC at that time. We've had AKC for ten years and used it on various pets. Having a pet insurance is very valuable and it's been a positive experience with AKC. I would recommend them to a friend. If their pets ever have one serious accident or illness, it makes every dime worth it and may not even have it for months and months.

When I got my dog, I got in a free 30-day insurance with AKC. I heard a lot of horror stories about people who have pets and don't have insurance. So I figured I'll try to avoid that and if I'm going to have insurance through someone, it might as well be through AKC Pet Insurance. It is a notable and well-known company so I decided to keep the policy. I do not know much about insurance but the lady that I spoke to was very nice and helpful, and she walked me through everything. Dealing with people in that type of environment where you call and you don't really know too much, sometimes people tend to get irritated because they get asked the same thing all day. But I had a very pleasant experience with AKC Pet Insurance and it's a good company to get pet insurance from.

My wife was reading about AKC Pet Insurance when she was registering our dog and we thought we’d give it a try. We got the policy since September and we got a hold of them when the dog got sick and we had to take her to the vet to have a procedure done on her. We contacted them to figure out how to submit a claim and after we turned in the claim, AKC contacted us and said that we weren't covered. They even said that it was beyond the expiration date of the policy. But it turned out that our dog had gone in on the last day of the policy's effective date. My wife who told AKC that it wasn’t right that they weren't going to cover anything.

When I got my brand-new puppies, I Googled and came across the AKC website. They were the best one that stood out to me and I've been a policyholder with them for 22 months now. I've had pets before and I got two baby German Shepherds now, and I wanted to try having a pet insurance that was more helpful to me this time. Every time my doctor or the vet submits the claim to them, I get a response thru an email that they have received it. When I didn't get one as expected, I called AKC and I was able to find out right away which provider did not send our claim. They were extremely responsive when I called them and they were wonderful. They pay their claims very quickly and accurately according to the benefit plan. I get excellent service from them and I'm extremely satisfied.

When I got a puppy, the information about AKC Pet Insurance came with it. I have a very valuable dog and I wanted him protected. Protecting him can be very expensive and I was hoping AKC Pet was reliable. I’ve been with them for over three years and everybody’s always been very pleasant. I added the cat when we got a kitten, and it just seemed simpler if they were both be on the same policy. It’s insurance and I’m paying for the hope that everything will continue to be all right considering how expensive it can be if something goes wrong, or if one of them gets hurt. AKC Pet is good and they've been very cordial and kind.

My dog got hurt before I even got it as a pup and so did my last dog. I liked AKC when I read about them, and they're also affordable. They were really nice and they answered every question I had. Their people have been spot on and perfect.

Having pet insurance is extremely valuable. I registered one of my dogs with AKC and I got a free three-month trial. I used it and I kept it. I like their cost which is a little bit less than a lot of the other companies and I've been with them for two years now. I added a second dog and I find that their process could be a lot easier. Their website sucks and it would be nice if they have an app to manage stuff. It wasn’t horrible but it could be a lot easier.

We’ve got AKC Pet Insurance 8 years ago when we registered the dog through AKC. My dog’s nine and a half now so we put it on when he was a year old. We got the dog insured with AKC because of the type of dog that he is. I get him out a lot and he’s very active so I figured I'd rather be covered in case he does something crazy and breaks her leg. Also, the price and the premiums weren’t bad at all for the coverage but they didn’t leave the premiums the same. My dog sees a vet regularly as a preventative health and AKC did a really good job with it. AKC covered his nightmares quite well. Having an insurance is extremely valuable for my pets. You might be able to get away with putting your own money away from preventive care if your pet is just a couch potato and didn’t do a whole lot. But it’s a good way to go if you have an active animal.

I registered my dog through AKC because she’s a purebred Golden Retriever. AKC sent me some papers regarding pet insurance because when we got her she was only 11 months old. I was looking for insurance companies around and have had some before when I have had my cats and dogs. But since I registered her through AKC, I decided to stay with AKC as pet insurance as well.

My family and I just owned a brand-new dog. She's six months old and 25 pounds. She's been rescued from a Taiwan street and we got her from a company called A Better Chance Rescue. Two weeks ago we went to San Francisco to pick her up and bring her home. Right now, she’s doing pretty good. She's nice and listens to our commands. But I was a little bit ahead in the game. I have a friend who lives outside in Cupertino, California in the Bay area and he told me to make sure we’re getting a pet insurance. He told us to check the reviews.

I registered my purebred English Golden Retriever, Max, through AKC, and they gave me a 30-day insurance thing. About a week later, Max ate something, and I needed it. The veterinary place was great because they filed all the paperwork. I just had to give them the claim form the first time, so it was pretty painless. I didn't have to fill out a bunch of paperwork.

We bought a Frenchie puppy and we knew he was going to also live with my son part of the time in California. Also, Frenchies get all kinds of health issues sometimes so we went with AKC because of their reputation and we've been with them for almost three years. Last year, I filed a claim for pancreatitis that my dog had. AKC was really good with the claim and explained what was covered and what wasn’t.

My best friend and I have dogs that are brother and sister. She was having problems with her dog and I decided I wouldn’t want to deal with what she was dealing with. I saw that AKC could add on different policies. Whereas, the other insurances weren’t providing that same product. I've been an AKC policyholder since June of this year. Signing up online was easy and they have a very user-friendly website.

When I registered my dog, I was given free two months of AKC pet insurance, and after that, I kept it. Recently, we had to put our 13-year old dog down. AKC Pet Insurance was really great about it, paying the bills and also the euthanasia part of it. I had two pets on the plan, and when I called up, they took care of everything as far as prorating it and giving us a refund and redoing it for my one dog that survived.

I've been with AKC Pet Insurance for 18 years. I did my research and I found them to be the best, most honest, and very honorable so I went with them and I never switched. My nine-year-old dog Phoebe got insured with AKC ever since she was brought up to me at eight weeks old. She got sick on me two months ago. She was bleeding profusely from the mouth so I brought her to the vet and she was dehydrated, and they ended up keeping her for the day. They ended up telling me that I needed to go to an emergency clinic. So I brought her and they had to give her transfusions. Her blood wasn't clotting and she had no blood platelets.

My breeder offered different insurances and I chose AKC since I knew of them and it's a reputable name that would be providing a reputable insurance. I've been with them for a little over two years and I've had a really great experience with them. My two-year-old dog was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome at 11 months as well as bilateral hip dysplasia and AKC has been phenomenal in the coverage of medicines, therapies and cost with specialists, doctors, and surgeons. Unfortunately, doing the applications like filling out the form, getting the signatures and writing the bills can be tedious. It's an easy process once you do it but it's time-consuming to get it done. Other than that, I'm really happy with the policy. When filing claims for my lab, I send things by email and I've had no issues.

I was an AKC policyholder for 30 days but I didn’t renew it. We didn't feel it was worth the cost since everything that my silver lab needs and requires is not covered based on what I read. And since we're not planning horrible events to happen. Most vets are going to work with me if something bad happens. They're not going to say, “You need to pay $10,000 upfront.” but they're going to work with me and take payments. They'll figure out other options and do what's best for the pet. I had insurance on one of our cats that included the vaccine, neutering and anything maintenance-wise. It was the whole package to cover the healthier pet and would help if ever my cat gets run over by a car. They reimburse or they pay everything except for my copay.

I got my policy for my German Shepherd from AKC Pet Insurance. I looked into it and I was interested. I signed up and I'm very pleased so far. They have good coverage. Before that, I had a pet insurance policy that I wasn't very happy with. What I liked about AKC was the way they sent me the information through mail. I don't like to do a lot of stuff on the computer. The other insurance would only send emails and I prefer getting a snail mail.

I have AKC pet insurance for our bulldog named Trouble. It is hard to afford things anymore. It ain't like the old days. It ain't two plus two is four and it's a pretty wise decision to go for a pet insurance. I'm glad it's there. If you really love your dog it's a hands-down must have. You got to be foolish if you don't. I have recommended AKC to my friends.

We purchased a little yellow Lab so we got the 30-Day Platinum package from AKC Pet Insurance. I had no qualms with the AKC Insurance. It was very good. But it was a lot to have to go back and have the vet themselves initial and put the diagnosis on the claim form over and beyond what I had for the vet notes in the invoice just to be able to submit it. We did not renew with AKC and I'm with Nationwide now. But I was not disappointed at all with AKC and I would definitely recommend them. At the end of the day, it's all for the better of the pet and the breed.

It's a smart thing to have a pet insurance especially with younger and older dogs. My wife did a research and chose AKC Pet insurance for our new dog, a black lab. We've been a policy holder for a year now and when we’ve used it, we were reimbursed with whatever part AKC reimburses.

I got a new dog so I signed up for an insurance with AKC. I've been using them for a few years now since most of my dogs are AKC registered. Having a pet insurance is valuable and I got it to help defray some of the cost of the potential bills. Everything's been going well and AKC has been fair so I'm satisfied with them.

I registered my dog and I heard about AKC Pet Insurance. I find the insurance very valuable to my pet and I’ve had the policy about a year. The pet insurance was fine. It was a good experience.

I've had AKC Pet Insurance for a little more than a month. In my most recent experience, it was very tedious and time-consuming due to the unnecessary duplication of paperwork and the necessity to physically sign a form every time. It's much more tedious than I expected it to be, to the point where for minor visits, I don't bother with them anymore. Which plainly means that my deductible is taken up more slowly, which undoubtedly was their intent. I'm looking around other providers. I can see why they might want a signature at least once. But otherwise, they should be able to take an electronic one. Because I have to go back to the vet to get validations and fax or mail it back them afterwards. But I could take a picture of the bill and send it to them, and that would seem under most circumstances, the best way to deal with this.

I’ve been an AKC policyholder for two months now for my young dog. I want her protected for life. I’ve had pets before and taking them back and forth to the doctor gets expensive. So, in the long run, it will be well-worth having it. I’ve heard from friends that that’s the better one to choose. Signing up was pretty easy and everything in my experience with them has been positive. They’ve been really friendly too. I will definitely recommend them to anybody.

We have a German Shepherd that we love very much and the vet said that they accept AKC Pet Insurance so I went with them. I got the policy in 2011 but in 2015, I had to cancel because I lost my job and I couldn't afford to pay for it every month. He’s seven now and the last time we had him at the vet for his checkup and all his shots, we spent $500. With AKC, I pay for well check-up minus a $100 deductible. So I decided that we should get the insurance again just in case anything bad would happen. It is super important to have a pet insurance because we love our dog like a child. The people at AKC were comprehensive, knowledgeable and efficient. I spoke with Kaila and she was very informative. She told me about the wellness option where they pay for teeth cleaning and I never knew that. So I was very impressed with her and she did a great job.

I bought some Persians cats and AKC came free for a month. It’s valuable to have pet insurance. I’ve already spent over a thousand dollars on my pets, just by their shots, as well as their wellness checkups. Also, I think it’s as important as having health insurance on your children because they’re pets for your children.

It is very valuable to have pet insurance because when my first Yorkie, Coco, got ill, I didn’t have insurance on her and then I went through some time of unemployment and I vowed to myself that I would never let money become an object again about getting my dog medical care. That’s the time when I got Ginger (another Yorkie). I got AKC Pet Insurance for Ginger, that died when she was 15 years old, so I’ve had it for a long time. Since AKC is pricier than the other ones, I only had her covered for injury and illness, but you get what you pay for. I was really impressed with one of the AKC operators when Ginger died and I had to call and cancel her policy. The male operator that I talked to let me sob and cry on the phone about Ginger. He told me to call back anytime, ask to speak to him and he’d speak to me directly. Also, I got a sympathy card from AKC which really meant a lot. It touched my heart.

It’s very valuable for us to have pet insurance. We’ve had AKC Pet Insurance for 11 years with our other dog. We just got another dog and we have AKC with him too. We like AKC’s response time, pricing and customer service. We got to use it last month when our new dog had to have wellness exams and we had to have him neutered. We’ve had no issues doing that. We’re really fond of AKC and I've recommended them a lot.

It is very valuable to have pet insurance. But due to a bad experience with VIP with another dog back in the 80’s and since our pet was an AKC dog, we decided to go with AKC Pet Insurance. We’ve had it since our pet was 6 months old. Submitting a claim with them was a fine process. I had to fill out the form and submit the bills. Everybody who answers the phone is a very caring and competent person. They are a very nice and understanding company.

It is very valuable to have a pet insurance because when you adopt or purchase an animal, it's just like buying a car. You don't know if there's anything going on already. So, just like us with our health insurance, we don't know if we have a pre-existing condition, so we go see the doctor. So having a waiting period for this is outrageous, it shouldn’t be there. I’m a policyholder with AKC for 45 days and have already filed a claim with them. I have received a response that they received my claim, but nothing else. But so far, I am satisfied with it.

AKC Pet Insurance was part of our AKC registration package when we registered our new Lab. There was a trial month involved, he suffered a severe strep infection around his mouth during that month-long trial. The vet bill totaled $112 during that month for two visits and three shots and some pills. Sending the form for a claim was simple. A lady sent me a form to download through e-mail. I filled it out, I took it to the vet, they filled it up and mailed it for me. I have received notice that the claim was received. But I do not know if they’re paying it or not. We would love to have pet insurance but it's pricey. On a fixed income, $30 a month is not just doable for us. But despite that, we would recommend them to a friend.

My AKC Pet Insurance came with the Rottweiler I got from a breeder. During his first 30 days, he got all of the shots besides the ones that the breeder gave him. It cost $300 and it was all covered. Since then, I renewed the policy and I’ve been with them for 8 months. The policy provides security and it's a good resource in case anything happens but AKC tries and gets out of everything like any other insurance.

My dog is part of the American Kennel Club and I figured AKC Pet Insurance was reputable because of the Club. I don't think that anyone could just have that name if they weren't filled up to that status. I thought that getting a pet insurance would be preventable maintenance to help with the cost, and it has helped. I had used it to get my dog spayed and it covered 25% of it. Therefore, having a pet insurance is very valuable. So far, I've been with them for six months now. Their claims process is very easy. Basically, a claim is submitted to AKC Pet Insurance and I get a check, so it's great. Overall, my experience with them was fast, easy and reliable.

When my dog was registered, we got the information about pet insurances. We had problems with our last German Shepherd, so my daughter wanted to look into getting a pet insurance just in case. My breeder sent me a link to AKC Pet Insurance. I did some research and didn’t find anything negative. They have been around for a long time. We’ve been a policy holder for a couple of months now and we got insurance for our other dog too.

I have a friend who raises Schipperkes and she suggested that I look through something like a pet insurance for my puppy. I've heard that AKC is probably going to be good, so I'll stick with them. The insurance is a safety net for my puppy and gives me peace of mind. It's valuable and having it is going to be cheaper instead of costing me an arm and a leg.

We've been showing dogs for 17 years but I've never had insurance on my dogs because of the breeds. When we got a Chinese Shar-Pei, we were told by somebody who is a vet tech that Shar-Peis have a lot of inherited stuff and they got lots of issues. So we said we're going to insure this dog. We've looked at a lot of pet insurance providers and AKC was the only one that covered a lot of the inherited stuff. So we didn't know that our dog had anything at the time, we still don't know, but we thought we'd take the chance with AKC. We got the policy when he was a puppy and we got the free month that they gave.

I've had an AKC Pet Insurance policy for two years now and we really like it. My dog is a registered German Shepherd and the owners who sold him to us gave the policy to us. We didn’t know that AKC had put our dog on a prescription drug and they only paid for one of them, which was the first one. When we submitted the refill bills, they sent us a note saying it’s been already filled. We didn’t know that they didn’t cover the continued refill and that that was how that works until we didn’t get reimbursed. But that’s okay with us. Our dog needs it. The reps were friendly and they took care of whatever we call in right away. We're very satisfied. I’ve already recommended AKC to a friend.

I bought a dog and they offered AKC Pet Insurance when I registered it. Normally, I've had real good experiences with them. They were good about letting me know where they were at in the claims process. They were also good in paying and keeping me updated. However, I'm not very happy with this last claim because they denied it. It was for a dog fight and I had to do some research. I need to find out exactly why they didn't cover the charges. They just said that the claim was denied per my policy. They didn't give me a good explanation of why they denied the claim. Also, I don't like that they keep raising the policy. My pet is very valuable. I live in the country and my dogs get sick there a lot so it's very valuable to have insurance on them. I only have one of my dogs insured through AKC and he's eight years old now. So, if I try and switched him over, I wouldn't save any money switching him over to another company.

For the first few years, having a pet insurance is an expense that doesn’t pay off. But once your pet is over six years old, it’s well-worth it. We’ve had AKC Pet Insurance for about 18 years now. I've had it for our dog who’s 13 and a half and for another dog before. AKC's customer service team has always been very accommodating. When I've had disagreements about what’s covered and what’s not, they reasonably listen and they have a process that can work, and it has worked for me in the past. Sometimes I don’t win, but sometimes I do. So, I find them to be fair. I really have a pretty positive feeling with AKC and I have recommended it.

I wanted to keep my pup covered in case something happened to him. I have the certificate of birth for the pet insurance and then before it ended, I wanted to keep it. So, I called AKC and the person I spoke with was super knowledgeable, gave me a lot of good information and helped me pick the best coverage for my puppy. I figured I’d keep it simple. I’ve been a policyholder since the end of May. Having a pet insurance is pretty good and I definitely recommend AKC to other people.

I purchased my pet and registered it with AKC. Then they sent me a form to fill out if I wanted 30 days of free AKC Pet Insurance so I tried it out. Then my six month old puppy had a dislocated hip and the x-rays and the fees amounted to $165. Then they're asking me to buy the insurance. When I asked what my benefit would be under that, the rep told me that with a $100 deductible and some other stuff, I would receive $15 to $20 compensation. And so, I don’t think that’s much of a benefit. If I’m going to be paying $10 a month for insurance which is $120 a year, and then my first claim I send in is going to pay me $15, that is not worth it.

When I purchased the dogs from the breeder, she registered them with AKC and then, a recommendation coupon came with it. It was the first time I got an AKC dog and for catastrophic situations, it would be good to have. Since that was what AKC put in their materials, I decided to go with it. I’ve been a policyholder with AKC for 12 years. I started with their top tier and then as the dogs got older, I went down a couple of notches because of the cost. But both the dogs are gone now. They ended up being horribly ill for 12 years. Both of them had lots of major issues which cost $4,000 at a pop. PetPartners was fantastic. They walked me through everything and took into consideration my personal issues. They stepped up and helped me out whenever possible. In the latter years, I was so happy with them and so thankful that for the last five years I've been sending them gift baskets at Christmas. You usually don’t hear about that with insurance companies.

I knew about AKC Pet Insurance through my English Bulldog breeder and I have been a policyholder since June 7th. I availed them to make sure if my English Bulldog had any problems it would help pay for unknown expenses. This is pretty valuable for me because I am pretty attached to my dog. The people I have talked to were nice. I had taken my dog in because of cherry eye but I still haven't gotten paid for it.

The puppy I bought was a registered AKC golden retriever and I bought the AKC Pet Insurance because of its price. I've had pet plans, insurance on my horse, a pet insurance for my other golden retriever, which I pay $1,400 a year, and compared to these, AKC Pet Insurance is significantly priced lower. They're probably the cheapest on the market. I haven't had problems with them. They are responsive and are timely in reimbursements. I can always talk to somebody on the phone and they do not give me a runaround. I also enjoy the newsletters, which are good.

We’ve always had German Shepherds and always registered them through AKC, and I figured that they have good insurance. Having pet insurance is a necessity now and especially since German Shepherds can have hip dysplasia and degenerative myelopathy, and I wanted something in place in case that happens. I haven't used the insurance yet but everything’s been fine so far.

I registered my full-bred Lab and got him checked, then I was sent something that said "Free trial. This is what would be covered." I got a free trial run from AKC Pet Insurance and they were wonderful. When I called, I didn't sit for 10 minutes trying to push buttons. I talked to people and they're really friendly, nice and tried to walk me through everything. It was really easy and I appreciated it because my computer’s down. Where I could sign up, I couldn’t get on the link, which is the why the gal sent me paperwork to go over. That way, when I go over it with my husband and call back, and they’ll help me get it set up. Everything’s above and beyond. They explained very well when we started about three months ago.

Every other policy only covered an injury or an incident but didn’t include the checkups. But, AKC Pet Insurance had both accident and wellness coverage so we signed up with them when I had gotten a new puppy. Having a pet insurance is the most valuable. Every time I call, which has only been twice, the people were very knowledgeable and I like that. They also make you feel comfortable and they work with you. It has been pleasant, easy, and quick.
