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.

I am so grateful for Pumpkin Insurance

I am so grateful for Pumpkin Insurance! Our dog Atlas was in the ER and accrued a very expensive bill. We were able to get him the care he needed without the worry and bring him home that night. I submitted the claim to Pumpkin Insurance the next morning and we were reimbursed for 90% of the claim that same morning. Without the financial stress, we were able to get Atlas the appropriate care right away and help him recover. He is doing great, back to his old antics! I will never have dog without Pumpkin Insurance. We recommend Pumpkin Insurance 10/10

Great coverage

During our one-year-old Maltipoos Wellness visit with the vet she ended up having a double ear infection. I submitted the entire bill and pumpkin credited me for the ear infection and the medication used to treat it. I thought that was fabulous. Great communication with this company

All I did was answer a few basic questions and uploaded my receipt. Pumpkin contacted my vet for any additional information that was needed, and I was reimbursed two weeks later via auto-deposit. They’ve been great and I highly recommend!!!

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.
