Say It Best!
“We have a 2-year-old German Shepherd. Our boy had an adverse reaction to anesthesia plus has had ongoing issues with allergies. We have a “wellness” plan with our vet’s office, but none of the extras would be covered. The pet insurance has been a godsend. I would highly recommend it. Refunds are easy to process and explanations come with the refunds. Thank you so much.”
Nancy S., December 2021
“Thank you AKC Ins.! This was a stressful illness for our dog, but she is fine and the claim and payment info from AKC Pet Insurance was super easy and fast. I’m so glad we went with them. Hopefully, we won’t need it anymore, but it’s good to know we have it for “Labrador” life.”
Mrs. B., October 2021
“Just wanted to take a moment and say thank you. I’ve never had pet insurance before and this process has just been smooth and painless. Insurance is something you hope you don’t have to use, but I appreciate your timely review/processing/payments and making what is a difficult experience when your pet (Harper) has an injury/surgery much easier. My sweet girl is recovering from her TPLO surgery on Friday 9/17, and I just appreciate having you as a partner in her care.”
Kristy R., September 2021
“Thankful for Kat in Customer Care! Kat eagerly assisted me in clearing up a claim error. She promptly (& securely) responded to every one of my emails. After a thorough look over, she was able to advise me how to correct the situation. She was polite and pleasant through every step of the process. 5 stars- I am also very pleased with my AKC Pet Insurance.”
