Fetch has your back if you’re hospitalized

We’re not just here for your pet — should you require hospitalization for 4 days or more, we’ll cover up to $1,000 of your pet’s boarding fees.

AKC Pet Insurance doesn’t cover this, so you’ll likely need to find someone to take care of your pet or pay boarding fees out of pocket.

AKC Pet Insurance doesn’t always cover breed-specific issues

Fetch’s comprehensive plan covers medical conditions linked
to breed.

Many of AKC’s pet insurance plans exclude medical conditions by breed or charge you extra for coverage.

What should you consider when you’re comparing pet insurance providers?

What does the coverage include?

Not all pet insurance plans are created equally. If a provider doesn’t cover a condition your pet has or treatment they need, you won’t be able to file a claim and get paid back for it — which means you could run into some serious costs. Take a close look at all limitations and exclusions for a given pet insurance plan, which can include factors like upper age limits and exclusions for breed-specific conditions.

How much can you customize the price?

Getting a plan that works for your pet and your budget is key. With Fetch, you can customize your plan, including choosing your deductible, max annual payout and reimbursement rate. Not all providers let you customize your price like this.

What matters the most to you?

Every plan is different, and every pet parent is, too. Some people only want protection in case of injury and illness — the unexpected stuff you can’t see coming — while others also want coverage for things like chronic conditions. Make sure that what you’re paying for is what is best for your pet’s needs and your budget.
