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.

unreasonably asking for previous medical record as a rejection excuse for not covering the claim

When we signed the contract, there was no mention that we should have and keep all records for our pet. However, while our spending meets the deductible line, Pumpkin starts asking us for all the records from the born of our pets. Even a tooth cleaning claim. The thing is, our previous pet hospital does not give us medical records, so there is no way for us to obtain any medical records once we drop out of Banfield. We've reached out to explain our situation and request an explanation, but the claim was rejected the day after. Also, all of our claim were rejected after the deductible line was met. Very bad experience.

Pet insurance is new for me however I have owned pets all my adult life. I finally got smart! Pumpkin makes it easier and I am considering expanding my coverage for other pets.

Getting pet insurance I can rely on for my new puppy!

Getting pet insurance I can rely on for my furbaby is important. Referred to Pumpkin by my Vet hospital tells a good story. Looking forward to having the wellness care I added and the overall coverage for my new puppy. I have always had pet insurance on my dogs. This is no exception.

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.
