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.

PUMPKIN PET INS denied my pet prescription

Pumpkin denied a prescription Royal canine prescription diet for Kaiser that is on more than a year that always was refunded. They said to appeal but the appeal will affect other claims. Later the email information about the appeal indicates that they might impact other claims as they are related. Kaiser has exams in a week regarding his cancer status. So how am I supposed to continue caring for his care when pumpkin might stop these future expenses on the light of an appeal? The raised Kaiser premium from $117 to $177 as of January 2023. How does this look for caring for my pet?

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.

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.

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.
