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.

Awful experience-Stay Away

Awful experience! Pumpkin works exceptionally hard to find a way to make something out to be pre existing even when the link is incredibly tenuous. It’s taken months to get denied and then months more to go through appeals. Our incident was in December, it’s now May. They never reached out to our vet as requested for explanation when we appealed so we had to appeal again. We had to do all the leg work for them and all to no avail. Thoroughly disgusted and disheartened. I have never, in decades of animal ownership and years of insurance, seen a company work so hard to deny.

Quick to complete a claim and to refund the money owed into your account. So far I am very pleased and have not had a problem as of yet. I’m a new member and my 7 year old lab needed knee surgery for his torn ACL and it was No hassle!

I haven't had to use the insurance yet

I haven't had to use the insurance yet, so I will be able to give a better review after using it. However, I did research many different companies and felt this will suit my puppy's needs should we need it.

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.
