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.

It is a very easy process for claims. I would highly recommend Pumpkin Pet to other pet owners.

Easiest insurance process ever

It was so easy to file the claim and it was reviewed within a couple of hours. Then shockingly, the refund came the same day it was reviewed! Pure relief when you just spent hours and good money on an emergency visit. It gave us such peace of mind knowing we didn’t have to say no to treating our dog at the vet

Immediate payment

I filed a claim, submitted my paid invoice, and had the money in my account all within 10 minutes. What’s not to love?

Pumpkin always pays so quickly that I am amazed. I got reimbursement in about an hour thus last time which was crazy good. Also I like that you cover so many things that my previous insurance didn’t like prescription food and medicine without a low limit. I refer everybody who has animals to Pumpkin because I’ve been so pleased even though you didn’t cover a $3000 dental bill for one of my cats. Otherwise, I am very pleased with Pumpkin.

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.
