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.

My Pretty Girl

I decided to use Pumpkin after a stray cat found me. I named her Pretty Girl. After two months, I realized she was pregnant. She gave birth to 5 kittens, I decided to keep two of her kittens and friends took the others. Tragedy struck and Pretty Girl was hit by a car and one of her babies I kept (Little Bit) was attacked and killed by my neighbors dog. I contacted Pumpkin immediately and each person I spoke to was so kind.

Reliable & Fast

Reliable, easy to use platform. I was able to get my bill reimbursed. Due to some missing information, they contacted my vet before I even did that same day.

Pumkpin insurance was great about…quick payme

Pumkpin insurance was great about paying all bills at 90%. I would recommend them as a pet insurance. The only drawback is that they are quite expensive, especially for a dog breed that I do have which is a English bulldog..

A Great Investment in my Pet's Health

Always a good experience with Pumpkin Insurance. My kitty now has kidney disease and it's really comforting to know I have the support of insurance so I do not have to spare expense for my boy. It was a great investment to do for a few years so eventually it would cover health expenses. Pumpkin usually gets to my claims within a week and the money is deposited into my account the day the claim is reviewed. My one phone call discussing what was covered when I first signed up was very helpful and the employee was kind. All employees I have emailed with have been very pleasant and punctual. Can't recommend enough, just please understand it's an investment in the future and not something to get after your pet has been diagnosed.

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.
