What is pet insurance?

When your kid gets hurt or sick, pet insurance helps you do what’s best – even if it costs more. With a Pumpkin plan, you can get paid back up to 90% in minutes on eligible veterinary bills for accidents and illnesses.¹

What are pre-existing conditions?

Pre-existing conditions are illnesses or injuries that occur before your pet insurance coverage starts or during a waiting period.³ This even includes signs and symptoms of an issue your vet may have flagged in your pet’s medical records. Like most pet insurance, Pumpkin doesn't cover pre-existing conditions. What’s different about us is that if a condition is curable, we could cover it if your pet has been fully recovered for 180 days and it comes back. Find out exactly what is considered a pre-existing condition.

1. You pay for veterinary treatment your pet needs.

2. You submit a claim for the care received.

3. Once approved, you’re reimbursed for all covered expenses – usually within a few days.

How does it work?

When your kid gets sick or hurt, we reimburse you 
directly for covered vet care costs.
