Why parents need pet insurance
Only 41% can cover a $1k emergency vet visit,⁴ even though 97% of us believe pets are family.⁵ If your kid is sick or hurt, a Pumpkin Pet Insurance plan can help you focus on what they need to feel better – instead of how to pay for it.
Some call them reviews. We call them love stories.

– Willi, Buddy’s parent⁶
“Bandit needed emergency care, which isn’t always affordable. We didn’t think twice, knowing Pumpkin would also take care of us.”
– Katie, Bandit’s parent⁶
“Meatball has health issues that are managed with expensive medication. Her insurance plan allows me to cover her care with less stress.”
– Adam, Meatball’s parent⁶
Pet Insurance FAQs
With a Pumpkin insurance plan, there are no “networks” of approved veterinary care providers to which plan coverage is limited. Pumpkin plans pay you back directly for all covered claims, which means you can use your Pumpkin plan coverage for eligible care from any licensed veterinarian, specialist, emergency clinic, or hospital in the US or Canada.
The cost of your Pumpkin plan will depend on a few key factors, including your pet’s age, breed, species, and location. Your plan cost will also depend on the annual coverage limit and annual deductible amount you select. The annual coverage limit is the amount your insurance plan is designed to cover in eligible veterinary bills each year. Your annual deductible is how much you choose to pay towards eligible vet bills each year before your 80% or 90% cash back kicks in.

Pumpkin plans, like most pet insurance plans, don’t cover “pre-existing conditions” that occur or show symptoms before coverage starts or during a waiting period. However, if a pre-existing condition is curable (e.g., UTI, paw fracture), was cured, and has been free of symptoms and treatment for 180 days, Pumpkin plans would cover it if it occurs again in the future, with the exception of knee and hind leg ligament conditions. If a knee or hind leg ligament condition occurs prior to the day after you purchase your Pumpkin plan or during the waiting period, any future ones won’t be covered.
It’s important to note that not all plans will cover eligible cured pre-existing conditions that occur again in the future, so this is definitely a plus with Pumpkin insurance plans. All that said, having an incurable pre-existing condition, or a knee or hind leg ligament condition, doesn't mean you shouldn’t join the Pumpkin pack. Even if your pet has a pre-existing condition, you can always enroll them and get covered for new conditions that develop down the road. Have questions?

Pet insurance plans help cover the diagnostics and treatments your pet needs to recover from unexpected accidents or illnesses. They’re not designed to cover routine veterinary care that helps keep your pet healthy, like vaccines.
Wellness plans are not insurance, but they can help pay for important preventive care, including annual vaccines that protect against disease and routine blood & fecal tests that catch issues early, when they’re often easier – and less expensive – to treat.
