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 Insurance Highly Recommended for our furry friends
As a proud dog mom to a miniature schnauzer named Paco, I take his health and wellbeing very seriously. When Paco was about 12 months old, I decided to purchase pet insurance, and I chose Pumpkin because of the flexibility and coverage they offer.
One of the main reasons I selected Pumpkin is that the insurance is recognized statewide, which is very helpful for people who may relocate and don’t want the hassle of changing providers. They also offer multiple plan options beyond the standard package, including preventative care. I opted for the preventative care plan along with the 90% reimbursement option, which has worked very well for us.
Pumpkin’s pricing is incredibly reasonable, and the claims reimbursement process is very timely. I have found the turnaround time for refunds to be quite fast, and their claims department has been efficient.
Customer service has also been excellent. Anytime I have had questions or concerns, the representatives have been knowledgeable and helpful. If I’m unsure whether a cost will be covered, Pumpkin offers a review process where they can estimate what portion of the claim would likely be reimbursed. I typically receive responses within 24 hours.
Overall, my experience has been very positive. I would highly recommend Pumpkin Insurance to any pet owner, especially those who value flexibility, responsive customer service, and reliable coverage for their pet.

Annual Preventative Treatments
Pumpkin keeps me informed about my dog's policy and I find the process for submitting a vet bill to be so easy & quick. Payments made back to me are timely and generous. My dog's routine vaccinations and preventative treatments are covered completely, which takes away the stress of getting them taken care of.
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.
