Coverage
Pumpkin is relatively new to the pet insurance industry, but it deserves a serious look due to its breadth of coverage. Pumpkin's policies cover a wide range of medical conditions and treatments, including dental diseases and extractions, which some other pet insurers exclude. You can take your pets to any licensed vet in the country, including specialists and emergency care providers. Also, holistic and alternative treatment modalities are covered under Pumpkin policies. You can even purchase optional wellness/preventative coverage for your pets.
Dog owners can choose either a $10,000, $20,000, or unlimited annual cap, while cat owners can select either a $7,000, $15,000, or unlimited limit. Pumpkin recently added higher cap options to its coverage. Although we hope never to have vet bills even approaching that limit, having a higher cap means you're more likely to have sufficient coverage to manage more catastrophic illnesses and accidents. Pumpkin does not impose a lifetime limit on coverage, so you don't have to worry about your pets getting older.
