Given the AKC's long history in the health and well-being of dog breeds, it only makes sense that it would be a pioneer in pet insurance.

Early on, the company focused on coverage for dogs within the Kennel Club of Great Britain. Since then, the brand has expanded to cover all dogs, turning into the AKC pet insurance company we know today. Answering the most obvious question: Your pet does not have to be AKC registered to buy AKC pet insurance. In fact, we named it best for preexisting conditions in our guide to the best pet insurance.
