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.

Our..Beagle Boy.."Maximo"

Our Dog ( Maximo ) developed a Retrobulbar Abscess July 3rd and was admitted into the Bellevue Emergency Vet Hospital July 4th, 2025. Pumpkin associates were very helpful and sympathetic with our emotional distress , being our first claim. Max is fine today and Pumpkin was exceptional. It is our privilege to recommend Pumpkin Ins. with the highest points available. Thank you Raymond & Nataly , Bellevue, Washington

SO GRATEFUL FOR PUMPKIN PET INSURANCE!

I enrolled with Pumpkin Pet Insurance when I got my puppy (Clark), and a year later discovered he has a chronic condition that has required two pet hospital stays and many vet appointments. Pumpkin's website is extremely easy to navigate, so I can file a claim and send them my invoice in less than five minutes. And after initial approval for his condition, reimbursements show up in my bank account the same day! I could not afford to care for Clark without affordable pet insurance, and I definitely recommend Pumpkin Pet Insurance to all pet owners!

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.
