Did you know?

AKC Pet Insurance is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Coverage

Standard Coverage

AKC Pet Insurance offers two major medical plans. Both plans are limited because they exclude potential health issues such as luxating patella, cruciate ligaments, exam fees and congenital conditions. You can add an Exam Care endorsement and Inherited Plus plan to add congenital conditions coverage for an extra charge (details below).

Wellness Coverage

And much like most pet insurance companies, AKC offers wellness care for an additional charge.

ExamCare

For $6.58/mo. this endorsement provides coverage for the cost of exam fees to treat or diagnose a current covered illness or injury. This extended coverage does not provide coverage for annual wellness office visits because that is included in the wellness plans.

InheritedPlus

This endorsement provides coverage for congenital conditions for an additional charge.

Accident Only

Pets of any age can enroll in AKC’s accident only plan but these plans only cover veterinary care for accidents, not illnesses.

Cost

The average cost for an AKC Pet Insurance plan is between $25-55/month. Prices depend on your pet’s breed, age and the zip code you live in. You can also adjust your coverage options to meet your monthly budget goals.

Note: Costs vary by age, breed and zip code
