Benefits of AKC Pet Insurance
Built with you in mind, we’re giving pet owners what they really need. A few things people love about us:
Exclusive AKC Partner
The American Kennel Club is the largest and most-respected canine registry in the world. Since 2003, AKC Pet Insurance has served as their exclusive insurance brand partner.
Suit Your Pet and Wallet
AKC Pet Insurance's selection of policy add-ons and customizable coverage options help you create a plan as unique as your dog or cat.
Keep Your Vet
Through AKC Pet Insurance, you and your pet can keep your vet and visit any licensed provider in the United States or Canada.
Pre-Existing Conditions
AKC Pet Insurance is the only brand that offers the industry’s most comprehensive pre-existing condition coverage after 365 days of continuous coverage (not available in all states).
Experts on Speed Dial
Need answers in the early morning or dead of night? Policyholders can call or chat with the 24/7 Vet Helpline any time of day for quick answers to their pet care questions.
Easy Access to Vet Records
The Pet Cloud mobile app connects pet owners to a like-minded community, provides a database of pet care resources, and makes it easy to keep medical records and insurance forms organized.
