PetPartners started offering pet insurance under its brand name in 2009. It has customizable plans, allowing you to choose your deductible, payout limit, and reimbursement levels. PetPartners is nearly identical to AKC Pet Insurance. How does it compare to the competition? Our experts find out.

Summary

PetPartners doesn’t offer the most comprehensive plans. It comes with age restrictions and add-ons for conditions commonly covered by other providers. You’re more likely to find better coverage and pricing from a competitor.

Our pet insurance experts read through each pet insurance company’s policy to provide detailed comparisons and information regarding how a provider fares against others in the industry. We also speak with customers, read online feedback, and communicate one-on-one with pet insurance companies to obtain a well-rounded, unbiased analysis of a company’s standings.

Our team rates pet insurance companies based on several factors, including A.M. Best ratings (an indicator of financial stability), claim processing reputations, contract coverage, customer service, pricing, plan customizations, and more.
