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.

So easy and great people

The whole process was easy and surprisingly quick. I transferred the invoices from my email directly into the claims form and sent. Within 7 days I had my results and within 14 the reimbursement check. The customer service member I talk with during my process was nice and caring. Always referred to my pet by name. To say wow is an understatement. I have told everyone I can about Pumpkin and I highly recommend them. I believe this has been one of best decisions for my pets.

Be prepared for hassle with getting a claim paid..

The two illness/injury claims I filed were almost immediately denied. I had to go through an appeals process and in one instance file a complaint with the State Corporation Commission to get a response. They blatantly ignored timeliness in their policy, saying it could take 60 days to resolve an appeal when the policy stated 30. Ultimately, I cancelled. For the expense, there are better insurance providers.

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.
