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.

Check fine print

Registration for new insurance is set up to run smoothly. Filing a claim was easy and was handled quickly with a check already on its way. However, do be sure to read the fine print of the Wellness/Preventative insurance. We had a number of costs for our new puppy to get him "up and running". Our vet has a puppy plan that we purchased for $300, and we added on some immunizations to that too, reaching about $400 for the first visit (all eligible for reimbursement). We were only reimbursed the amount we spent annually on the wellness insurance (so...cut even on purchasing the insurance, which is not the point of purchasing insurance), and I checked and found fine print that if a vet offers a "puppy plan" bundle, they only reimburse up to the yearly fee. They may have a good reason for this, but it does not instill trust for future claims.

The ease of submissions and coverage is incomparable

It is so easy to upload receipts and documents. The website is easy to understand and if I have questions, a service agent is always readily available and I never have to wait long. The coverage has been fantastic and fair. I am reimbursed so quickly as well.
