What a great experience

I ve been a pumpkin customer for about 2 years I think. It was tough to justify the premiums because money has alsways been tight. I just had my first reimbursement during a very stressful time and it was such a blessing! I want to thank the person who reviewed my claim and y’all for helping me get through a very tight financial season without having to watch my baby be in pain and choose between that and like going broke! Pumpkin made it super easy to file a claim the instructions were clear and the interface so mostly very intuitive. It didn’t take me a minute to figure out how to find my policy. I wish that was one of the header options right away on the side bar like “my documents” or “my policy” or something but then I eventually found it under my pets.

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

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.
