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.

Very grateful for Pumpkin
The team at Pumpkin is kind, caring and fast in their replies. We have felt very taken care of by them since we enrolled. To say we have a little more peace of mind as our dog ages is an understatement. We have had a couple of unexpected vet visits and emergencies, and Pumpkin has been there for us every time. Submitting claims is easy and fast.

User friendly and prompt
Pumpkin has a very user friendly process. Filling out claims is quick and easy and they are very prompt at issuing reimbursements. I have another pet insurance for one of my cats, and it really makes me appreciate how simple it is to fill out claims. Pumpkin does all the detailed work, and the customer simply uploads documents with a few clicks. Easy!!
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.
