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 was so wonderful in August…

Pumpkin was so wonderful in August (2022) when I turned in my claim for my family’s sweet senior rescue Jose (13.5 yr old, 3.8 lb chihuahua), after he fell ill and ultimately died. We were devastated. A week later, I turned in everything I had, but I misplaced a receipt and did not realize it until I was told the Pumpkin team contacted the ER vet and his regular vet and found it. I was so very grateful. After losing Jose, I assumed I would have to pay the full year of his insurance coverage (we only had him for 7.5 short months). But they canceled his policy about a week after my claim was closed. This insurance company is the real deal! If we do decide to get another dog, I will 1,000% use Pumpkin insurance!!!

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.
