great company

I'm very happy with this company. I've done plenty of chats and always got a great response to my questions. Submit a claim would get the refund the next day show what got reimbursed and what didn't. Glad I picked Pumpkin for my dogs pet insurance regret not getting it for my previous dog who ended up with lymphoma. I'm not making that mistake again that's why I choose to go with Pumpkin after reading the reviews best decision I made.

Reliable and easy to use pet insurance

I enjoy the easy-to-use online claim service, how fast reimbursements are sent, and the fairness they have applied to assessing my two cats' cases. It's a relief not to have to worry so much about making decisions related to how expensive pet care can be, because I know much of it will be covered.

Very happy

This insurance covers more than the other one I had for Timmy. I received a check from them within a day or so after submitting the bill from my Vet. Very happy with them so far no complaints here!

Coverage

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