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.

Extremely efficient
Extremely efficient. I had submitted for pre approval an estimate for dental cleaning. Then when the cleaning was done and she was under anesthetic they found large tumor which was also removed. When I submitted the final bill with the extra charge, it was so great that you didn’t argue about the tumor removal. Pumpkin actually recorded, approved, and reimbursed me within an hour of submission of claim. Was amazing and impressive. I had used pumpkin for a claim maybe 4 yrs ago and I don’t know if Pumpkin has become more efficient or since I had also switched vets, my new vets office provides better invoices but this time was a 10 star experience. Thank you

Springer sustained a spinal injury
Springer sustained a spinal injury. Had to make three visits to the neurologist for a consult, MRI/CT, and back surgery. Total cost out of pocket was over $9k. We were reimbursed almost immediately from pumpkin for a total of $7200. I was amazed by the speed of the approval. The insurance piece of mind was worth its weight in gold.

Quick processing of claims
I had numerous receipts to submit on each of our three cats. Submitting was easy. Pumpkin processed the claims and deposited the payments into our checking account very quickly. Great service.
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.
