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.

Pumpkin Pet Insurance rocks!

I am so grateful for Pumpkin Pet Insurance -- the choice of various deductibles and the amount of coverage was really great -- I really felt like I could create the coverage that is right for me and my three cats. My cats range in age from 10 to 14 years old, two of whom were adult rescues, and normally I would expect the premiums to be very high, yet my payments are absolutely affordable. And that's just the beginning. My guys are generally in good health, but the oldest one needed a dental procedure that was quite expensive and was approved and paid quickly and painlessly. I love my cats but honestly I would have hesitated before spending that much money on a procedure that no prior cat has needed. Pet health insurance has traditionally been extremely expensive and the coverage has been limited and payments have been slow and contentious. I'm so glad I listened to my friends who told me that pet health insurance has become much better, but honestly I never would have guessed that my experience would be *this* good. I am so grateful and so is my little guy Buddy. He is so much happier without his icky teeth.

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.
