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.

Healthy Happy Puppy

I have a new puppy and she went to our vet for her first checkup. I was thrilled that so much of her exam was reimbursed by Pumpkin!! What a great service that promotes keeping our pets up to date on vaccines and healthy!

My honest review....I'm a Happy customer

I had been looking for pet insurance for a year, I decided to go with Pumpkin because all their benefits beat the other companies I was comparing. I wanted to wait on a review to truly see how it was to file a claim. I chose to add the Preventative Wellness to my plan. I went on Wednesday 3/1/23 to take my cat for his annual check-up and filed a claim right when I got home. The claim process online was super easy and very user-friendly. The claim was completed the very next day on Thursday 3/2, I was reimbursed Friday morning 3/3 with my direct deposit. I am so happy with this company and I wish I knew about pet insurance years ago! If you are thinking about pet insurance definitely go with Pumpkin

I would have given a 5 but I had to work extra on my side to get my claim correctly processed. It was denied incorrectly but when I contacted customer support I was pleased with the results. My claim was reopened and paid.

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.
