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.

The way insurance should be!

After 5 eventless years with Pumpkin, I finally needed some care for my pup and it was scary as she was facing a double surgery. I submitted the surgeon’s estimate and got approval almost immediately, which definitely helped immensely with peace of mind. After the surgery, I submitted the final bill and was reimbursed within 24 hours. It really helped not having to stress over that aspect of the whole ordeal and to be able to focus on my dog’s recovery instead. The website is very easy to use and submitting paperwork is a cinch. My kitty passed away a few months ago, she was with Pumpkin as well. They sent out a pretty, scented candle with her name on it. I very much appreciated that thoughtfulness!

Very disappointed because we have only had insurance a few months and already have an increase in payments!

Very disappointed because we have only been with Pumpkin a few months with our dog Samson and we have not filed any claims that would warrant payout but our insurance has increased which is forcing me to look for another carrier.

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

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.
