Pet Insurance FAQs

Do all vets take pet insurance?

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!

How much is pet insurance?

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 vet 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.

Do Pumpkin plans cover pre-existing conditions?

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 & 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?

Does pet insurance cover vaccines?

Pumpkin insurance plans cover the diagnostics and treatments your pet needs to recover when unexpected accidents or illnesses happen. However, they are not designed to cover routine wellness care services like vaccines. 

Vaccines are a crucial form of preventive care to keep your pet healthy, which is why we created a unique wellness package called Preventive Essentials. While not insurance, it’s an optional benefit you can add to your Pumpkin plan to get refunds for annual wellness exam fees, essential vaccines, and key parasite screening tests.
