Pumpkin Pet Insurance Donates $11,000 to Veterinary Clinics for Cost-of-Care Education
Pumpkin Pet Insurance has awarded $1,000 each to 11 veterinary clinics as part of a cost-of-care education initiative. These donations are intended to support 'angel funds' that assist pet owners who cannot afford necessary medical treatments, addressing a growing trend where clients decline care due to financial sensitivity. The initiative follows data from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) indicating that 81% of veterinarians have seen increased cost sensitivity among clients. By supporting these clinics and their community funds, Pumpkin aims to foster better communication between vets and pet owners regarding budgeting, insurance coverage, and payment options.
