Our 6 month old puppy swallowed part of a Nylabone and began to vomit throughout the day. An expensive trip to an emergency vet hospital followed. Our pup received an exam, x-rays, and medication and was fine within a couple of days. We filed a claim, which was easy to do, and received information about our coverage within days. Our insurance covered a large part of the expenses. Very happy with our insurance and their customer service.

Excellent coverage AND customer service!

Our little puppy has had a few casualties, so I’m really fortunate that I took a policy out. I have been treated like royalty, by this insurance company. I appreciate it!!! (I am a senior citizen who has less energy than this puppy definitely, but promised my husband he could get one, after our 20-year old house cat passed.)

We recently adopted a pure bred Mainecoon kitten. Bowdoin was microchipped when we got him. When we registered as the new owners we were given the opportunity to sign up for a 30 day pet insurance policy while we considered what type of insurance we wanted to select for his coverage. A couple of days ago we called to firm up our coverage. We were assisted on both occasions by an exceptional representative named Chelsea. Chelsea was very knowledgeable about all of the options available to us and the advantages/disadvantages of each. She was thorough, answered all of our questions (some twice because I'm not always quick on the uptake), very patient and has great people skills. Chelsea recommended a policy configuration that met both our budget and our coverage desires. All of our dealings with the company so far have been exceptional. There was no pressure to purchase, no comeons, nothing but facts that we needed and some we didn't even know to ask about. Thank you Chelsea. Now we hope we never have to use the insurance!

Amazing Interaction...

My Bouvier is 15 months. I thought about getting pet insurance every time I went to the vet. I loaded up with brochures from a multitude of pet insurance providers, and did nothing until today. I called AKC and spoke with Michaela. She was, no doubt, what I had been waiting for! She was amazing. I asked her to advise me on the best options for a breed that is known for some possible issues. She knew her stuff, and walked me through the process with clarity, and a sense of humor. She mentioned things I hadn’t thought of but should have since I had owned Bouviers in the past. I ended up with coverage that will give me peace of mind regardless of what comes our way.

Activating my pet insurance.

Wow! I spoke to Michaela a AKC pet insurance representative. Her people skills where extraordinary.
She was very pleasant and you could feel the love.
I felt very comfortable with her on the phone. She was so friendly oh my goodness. She’s a keeper!
Her essence can’t be measured nor calculated. Thanks for helping me Michaela activate my dogs.

AKC's registration is misleading

AKC's registration is misleading. One of the first benefits that AKC mentions is 30 days of pet insurance. However, it isn't until you pay and finish your registration that they tell you that your state does not qualify. Very misleading! I called customer service to see if they can remedy this situation, and they were unable to. They say that my purchase is non-refundable. They acknowledged the frustration and misleading marketing, but they did nothing about it.

Justin, we are sorry that you were unhappy with the AKC registration process, however this review platform is for AKC Pet Insurance, a separate company from the AKC. We believe that you contacted AKC customer service and not our company's customer care team and as we have no control over the handling of AKC registration, we unfortunately cannot assist you with your concerns.

Outstanding customer service!!!

I am a new client with AKC and called with some general questions around my policy. I spoke to Michaela and she did an excellent job making sure I had what I needed. Absolutely outstanding customer service! Thank you Michaela!

Great Customer Service, Great Insurance

Your representative was terrific. She was so efficient and knowledgeable. She took the time to answer all my questions and more. I couldn't have asked for better service. Your representative saved me time and actually helped me get more coverage for my dog. Thank you for providing such great customer service.

go with someone else

We have made multiple requests to speak to a manager to get 3 issues resolved and NO one has called. From billing date issues, to refusal to pay for surgical procedures covered by the policy to no communication. We where warned and now I am writing reviews letting everyone know You don’t Want to use this company! Go with Figo or another company who cares.

I have paid over $1,100 per year for pet insurance for my 2 AKC registered canines for 6 years. Recently I came home to my Rottweiler yelping in agony. After a trip to the emergency vet for initial assessment, we took him to his regular vet the following morning. He had prostitus and needed an emergency neutering to relieve the pressure. After filing my claim, AKC Pet Insurance reimbursed me $0.00!!!

$7,000 of insurance premiums got me exactly nothing from these criminals. DO NOT GIVE THEM A PENNY!! They do not actually provide insurance for your furry family members! They take your money and tell you to suck it when you have an emergency.

GET YOUR PET'S INSURANCE THRU A REAL INSURANCE PROVIDER.

In their reply they are exactly as helpful as you can expect from this horrific company. They mention that I didn't meet my $1,000 deductible. I submitted almost $1,300 in emergency veterinarian surgery receipts. They lied and paid zero dollars. USE A REAL INSURANCE COMPANY IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR PETS HEALTH!

Lou, we are sorry that you are unhappy with your pet insurance experience. After reviewing your claim it looks like there were several items that were eligible for reimbursement. We applied the eligible amount towards satisfying your $1,000 deductible, however since that had not yet been met we were unable to reimburse you directly. If you would like to speak with our customer care supervisor he would be more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding your claim. He can be reached by calling 866-725-2747 and requesting Adam. We hope that your dog is recovering well and we are sorry for your frustration regarding your claim.

Your pet deserves the best! Save time and money

Don’t even hesitate! Im one of those people that does extensive research on everything. All roads led me to Akc pet insurance. First comes price point , which akc was the most affordable. Out of over 20 pet insurance companies I reviewed Akc beat them by a long shot ,we’re talking over $50 in monthly savings some cases even more. Second comes their customer service, which are very knowledgeable people who answered all of my questions and concerns. I felt they had my pets best interest at heart. I filed a claim on their website which is super easy and sure enough no excuses an email stating how much I would be reimbursed and that my check is in the mail what more do you want from a company? They do what they say period.

Would be five and is getting closer

We have been clients for seven-plus years. The claims response time is much better and went through a rough patch that may have been aggravated by our vet getting behind on paperwork. Well-documented processes (notices of notices) and equitable treatment for a little West Highland Terrier with a wide range of knee, stomach, and allergy issues.

Scott, we are pleased to hear that you've found our claims response time to be improved. We do find that the claims process can be slowed down if we need to get in touch with a busy veterinarian, however we also value making the customer experience great and have been adding features to ensure we are able to reimburse on eligible claims as quickly as possible! We look forward to making your experience even better than ever and turning that four-star review into a five! Best, AKC Pet Insurance

I have had the most positive experience with AKC Pet Insurance. I can call anytime to check my coverage and the people I've spoken to have always been exceptionally helpful and professional. My claims have always been acknowledged via e-mail and paid promptly upon acceptance. I cannot recommend them enough.
