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.

I purchased Pumpkin pet insurance for my kitten just in the nick of time.

My kitten was adopted from a high kill shelter and within a month of bringing her home, she fell very sick with a difficult to treat viral infection. Her treatment has required many vet visits, follow up bloodwork, SubQ fluid administration, and medications. At first I was worried that Pumpkin Pet Insurance would try to come up with reasons to not help with my vet bills. Thus far they have paid the full 90% on all vet bills associated with her viral infection without issue or delay (minus a few things they don't cover like medical waste fees). I am very impressed with this company. I honestly don't know how I would afford to pay my kittens vet bills without Pumpkin Pet Insurance. I truly recommend this company and guess what? They really do care about your pet and it shows. I wouldn't hesitate to go with Pumpkin Pet Insurance and I don't post reviews easily. So far, so good. Honest review.

Although I have only been using Pumpkin insurance for a month, so far they have been wonderful!

I filed a claim for my dogs first check up after we adopted him, and even though this took place prior to his eligibility date, they did reimburse the allowable amount very quickly. The claim that was denied (which was no surprise, I just submitted it to have his records updated), a representative reached out to me to ensure I understood my EOB and offered to follow up with me if I had any questions. I am very pleased with my selection of pet insurance.

My 6 year old Dane ended up with a bowel obstruction and had to have emergency surgery…

The process for filing a claim was very easy and the company came through wonderfully. I had switched to pumpkin from another insurance just this year for my 3 Great Danes. I found them to be affordable and have very good coverage compared to other insurances. You never want to have to use insurance, but when you do I am grateful I found Pumpkin!!
