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.

Sudden spleen removal
My dog suddenly had to have her spleen removed! She's never had any medical concerns, and has aways been a vigorous, active, healthy dog. So, I was devastated to get this news, and worried about the 15k surgery cost!
I was a brand new customer to Pumpkin, and they were exceptional to deal with! The surgery was a success, and Pumpkin was extremely easy to deal with. I just uploaded her medical records to their website, and my claim was approved within 14 days, with a 90% payment wired to my bank account!
Thank you to the great members of the Pumpkin team who were kind, knowledgeable and helpful!

Pumpkin is great
Pumpkin is a great, hassle free insurance. They don’t make any fuss over cases. They don’t increase fees or drop you if you used them like the case may be for different insurances for people. All my 3 kitties are safe with Pumpkin and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who has cats or dogs.

Glad we had pet insurance & preventive care option to know Bella, our dog is the healthiest she can be.
We are glad for the quick response of the claim dept and the summary so we knew when the deductible was applied versus accepted claim reimbursement amounts. As we unfortunately had 2 major events- a coyote attack- thankfully superficial and Pancreatitis a few weeks afterwards- 2appointments for the bite- one emergency & other was scheduled.

I’d highly recommend them!
I’ve been using Pumpkin for the past few years and they’ve been great. I’ve never had an issue with them, customer service is awesome. I always recommend them to anyone who asks where I get pet insurance
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.
