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.

Battling Cancer in our Lab

Sadly our lab needed surgery to remove a tumor which was found to be cancer. Pumpkin has reimbursed me within the guidelines of the policy both for the surgery and for her first chemotherapy treatment and the oncologist. We’re praying for the best outcome and it has been very helpful financially having Pumpkin coverage. Staff at Pumpkin have been very polite in communication and promptly reply to email as well.

This pet insurance has saved me money

This pet insurance has saved me money? And has been worth it! Also has given me peace of mind. Insurance claim are really easy to upload. Wish they had an app. Just like any insurance do your research. And beware insurance does go up. I am disappointed that my insurance will be going up by $$$20$$ per month. It may not seem a lot but I have other pets and this does add up to my monthly/ yearly expenses. So do look at other insurance they may have a cheaper rate each year.

Highly recommended - fast, efficient service!

I have never had to use my pet insurance until these last few months (actually, never really had pet insurance until a few years ago) but man, Pumpkin has exceeded my expectations on all counts! The submission process is easy to do and they communicate within 24 hours to let me know status. Plus, you can have direct deposit to your bank so there's a very short wait period before getting your reimbursement. I HIGHLY recommend them!

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.
