Frequently Asked Questions
Can I retrieve a past quote on your website?
Yes! If you followed the prompts to enter your name, email address, and zip code when you created your plan online, you’ll receive an email from Pumpkin with a link to retrieve your saved quote at any time.
Will my vet accept a Pumpkin Pet Insurance plan?
Unlike a human health insurance HMO, your Pumpkin Pet Insurance plan’s coverage isn’t limited to a “network” of health care providers. Since you get paid back directly, your pet is free to receive treatment from any licensed veterinarian, specialist, emergency clinic or hospital you choose in the U.S. or Canada!
Do you offer a discount on pet insurance plans for multiple pets?
Yes! We know pet care can be expensive – especially when you have more than one fur baby to budget for. Unlike some other pet insurance plans out there, Pumpkin offers a 10% Fur Family Discount! That means you get 10% off a plan for each additional pet you enroll.
Where is Preventive Essentials accepted?
You may take your dog or cat to any licensed vet to receive the routine wellness care services covered by any of our classic Preventive Essentials packages.
If you have a custom Preventive Essentials package designed by your veterinary hospital, it is meant to be used for services received at that hospital only. However, if you decide to switch vets, Pumpkin will honor the benefit terms stated in your Preventive Essentials Customer Agreement for that year term.
