Hop on Board before Your Pet Ages!
If you can get in on time (aka: before any pre-existing conditions form), this is a lifesaver. After facing crippling vet bills with my older German shepherd who I did not think to get insurance on, I rapidly placed my younger shepherd on Pumpkin. I was worried since about her lack of robust vet records since she was from Mexico, but we got on a plan, and it has been a year of being able to breathe a little easier.
Pumpkin is fast to work with you on the phone, and generally processes claims quickly. They cover a lot, and I've always been anxious about pet insurance trying to find the most miniscule excuse to avoid covering something that falls under the policy (as some vets have told me is common with some insurers), but Pumpkin is not one of those. Even though they raise the price as your companion ages, the sheer positive experience I've had does not make this a deal breaker for me.
Some constructive criticism: it would be nice if Pumpkin could let you access your past electronic claims. Once you submit an electronic claim, you can't see what you submitted anymore. It would also be nice if Pumpkin let you access the full records that they pull from the vet when processing claims. This is just a detail that would make it more convenient, rather than taking notes on the side to keep track of illness history and pulling records from the vet frequently.
