Pumpkin is a pet care company on a mission to make the best pet care possible fur all. Pumpkin was started after its founders took a look at other pet insurance options on the market and found that some were missing one crucial component – preventative care. Pumpkin believes all parents should be able to give their pets medical care if they’re sick or hurt, and preventive care that keeps them healthy throughout their lives.

Pumpkin is the smartest financial decision I've made in the last two years

Enrolling with Pumpkin pet insurance is the smartest financial decision I've made in the last two years. Not only am I protecting the health and wellbeing of my best friend, I'm safeguarding my livelihood against inevitable medical expenses. Pumpkin is fast, easy, direct, and frankly, a no brainer. I've referred all of my pet parents to them.

Pumpkin Large premium increase

Purchased 20K/90%/$250 for 1 year old Goldendoodle. Cost $55 (TX). Had 2 claims: one for diarrhea (went toward deductible) and 1 for paw treatment (poison ivy) for $300. New premium for 2 years old: $77. "Not due to claim history, but due to your pet's age and your location". I contacted Pumpkin, got reply: "Your pet growing older", "Due to advancements in veterinary treatments, vets can now do more for our fur babies", "Rates and age factors are filed and approved by your state's department of insurance.​" I researched and compared many pet insurances before buying Pumpkin. I know it is a relatively young company. But I did not see any reviews about 50% premium increase in 1 year.

Monthly Cost

Plans start as low as $30 per month. Prices vary based on plan type, pet breed, age, and location.

Coverage

Every pet is covered by a 90% reimbursement rate to make it easier to say “yes” to the best possible care.

Payout Limits

Annual limits of $10,000, $20,000 or unlimited for dogs and $7,000, $15,000 or unlimited for cats.

Deductible

3 options: $100, $250, $500 and $1000

Age Limits

No upper age limits. Pets must be at least 8 weeks old to enroll.

Waiting Period

Insurance coverage begins 14 days after your policy begins for all conditions, including knee/ligament issues where some other policies make you wait 6 months for coverage. No waiting periods for preventive care (in fact, depending on when you received the care, you may be eligible for a retroactive refund).

Exclusions

Pre-existing conditions are not covered. However, unlike some other pet insurances, Pumpkin’s plan covers some curable pre-existing conditions if symptom-free for 180 days, with the exception of knee and ligament conditions. For full terms, visit pumpkin.care/insurancepolicy.
