@brettambrose THANK YOU! We wanted Pumpkin to feel unlike any pet insurance company. It was important to us to capture the quirks and personalities of pets and to create a brand that reflected the joy our cats and dogs bring into our lives.

Thanks Taylor! For me personally, one of the most exciting parts of Pumpkin’s product offering is our optional Preventive Essentials Pack. On the wellness side, we wanted to offer a plan that helped pet parents KEEP pets healthy, and provided them value through their pet’s lives - not just when things went wrong. This pack is great for pets’ health, and for pet owners’ wallets. Pumpkin’s Preventative Essentials Pack includes: • Full cost of an annual wellness exam fee when you go to your annual checkup and shots. • Annual vaccines your vet recommends each year– 2 for dogs and 1 for cats • Annual supply of flea, tick and heartworm disease medicine, shipped to your door From automated medication deliveries, to monthly reminders that help you make sure your pet is up to date on their parasite protection, Pumpkin is designed to keep your pet healthy from the day you join. And as a nice bonus, this plan saves pet parents up to $240 a year on preventive care alone. By making it easier for pet parents to afford the things all pets need to STAY healthy, our hope is that we enable them to afford the best-in-class insurance for the unexpected. Please send pictures of your dogs and cats.

@mikelandsberger It looks like I have to pay extra for the prevent option. How does that save me $240?

@daniellevine Good question. The average cost for 12 months of tick, flea, and heartworm disease protection is $303 alone. Add another ~$72 for 2 vaccines, and ~$56 for a wellness visit exam fee, and you're looking at $425 if you were to pay at retail. Pumpkin is able to charge $15.95/month for a total of $191.40/year, thanks to our partnerships. We chose to pass these savings onto our customers. Hope that helps.

Hi, Product Hunt! Very excited to be back with my third start-up. Yes, we are launching Pumpkin in the middle of COVID-19. Why? Given the rise in pet adoptions happening across the country, what better time to address the gap that exists in pet health insurance options and offer pet owners a plan that was fit for our furry family. I have two beloved dogs myself – Belle and Simon. When I first considered pet insurance, it was apparent that it was a flawed model that wasn't aligned with the needs or values of pet parents like me. While many plans offered some financial protection in the event of accidents or illnesses – they were complex, convoluted and didn't seem to make the care that could PREVENT future diseases and illness a priority. I wanted a plan that protected my pets from the unexpected, but also made it easier to provide for the everyday care that would keep them healthy. As a founder, I felt a need to address these voids and create a pet insurance and wellness company I would want for my own dogs. So, I created Pumpkin. At Pumpkin, we want to create a healthier, happier world for all pets and their people. And we believe that starts with making the best pet care possible – possible fur all. If you do check us out, please please send me your feedback. Thanks for reading 🙌

So many friends and family members of mine are adopting pets right now. Excited to share Pumpkin with them and anyone else with pets. The brand and their mission are both on point. Congrats on launching, Pumpkin team!

I wanted to highlight something else that Pumpkin is doing that is an example of everything our brand stands for. On April 2, we launched the #ArfMeowForVets campaign to support veterinary hospitals and staff that are facing financial hardship during the COVID-19 crisis. Pumpkin's vision is a 'healthier, happier world for pets and their people' – and we're committed to supporting the heroic of the veterinarians who love and care for our pets. You can learn more at www.pumpkin.care/arfmeow - and help us say 'Arf, meow & thank you' to your pet's vet, or reach out to us if there is a pet hospital we can help support right now.

How can I find out if my vet accepts your insurance?

@kevinmiller421 This one's easy! Since we pay you 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. That said, we can accommodate payment directly to the vet for covered expenses if you and your vet are interested. In that case, any payment terms or other arrangements are made between you and your vet (i.e. how much you pay upfront, what happens in case a claim was denied or still under the deductible limit, etc.) and Pumpkin does not take part in those arrangements. Hope that helps!
