claim took over 30 days

My claim took over 30 days to complete which was really long for someone who just had a pet emergency and used up most of there savings it’s just way too long, other than that I’m blessed I signed up on time and my animal was able to get the expensive emergency visit done and reimbursed.

Bad experience !

It is great that there are so many good reviews about Pumpkin. But I had to cancel my cats membership because of not being reimbursed for a $625 bill and $65 vet bill since June of this year ! Constantly calling and getting same excuses that their software has been updated,blah blah blah….. It’s not acceptable ! I pay for this insurance and can’t get reimbursed cause of some soft wear issue ????!!!! So I cancelled and will give this company a zero rating !!! Also they didn’t even ask why I wanted to cancel, what was the issue….very bad bad customer service !!!!

Great insurance left another company…

Great insurance left another company because they didn’t cover much. Great customer service that you can actually speak to if you wanted and even if you do email they respond quick. Everyone I dealt with was always very nice and helpful and very easy website to navigate. I tell everyone about pumpkin when they ask.

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.
