By pet parents, for pet parents.
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.
Plans start as low as $30 per month. Prices vary based on plan type, pet breed, age, and location.
Every pet is covered by a 90% reimbursement rate to make it easier to say “yes” to the best possible care.
Annual limit of $10,000 for dogs and $7,000 for cats. 99% of insured pet owners typically haven’t spent more than that, which is how those numbers were chosen.*
3 options: $100, $250, and $500
No upper age limits. Pets must be at least 8 weeks old to enroll.
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).
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.
