Pumpkin is a pet care company on a mission to make the best pet care possible fur all. Pumpkin was started after its founders took a look at other pet insurance options on the market and found that some were missing one crucial component – preventative care. Pumpkin believes all parents should be able to give their pets medical care if they’re sick or hurt, and preventive care that keeps them healthy throughout their lives.

Dog Insurance

Compared with other insurance online, Pumpkin was the greater choice to make for my budget.

Don't get this insurance

Changed start date of my plan to push out waiting period date so my claim became "pre-existing". The condition that they claimed as "pre-existing" isn't even formally diagnosed until closer to 4-6 months of age, not 10 weeks.

Reimburses nothing.

Money spent on this insurance for one 1 year old dog over 2 years: $2,000+. Money reimbursed when my dog got lepto or had any ear infection or literally anything: $0 The company refers to everything as a preexisting condition (even a virus such as leptospirosis) and responds with chatGTP emails that do not address the concern presented to them.a pain to deal with. I would stay far away. You will end up losing much more money than you could ever end up spending in the case of sickness. Positive reviews are surely fake. This is a scam Follow up reply to Pumpkin’s response. I did speak with the “customer service” agents particularly one agent named Andrianna Quiñones who refused to answer my question on whether they view the virus Leptospirosis as a pre existing condition (which by the way was NOT present in anyway for a year after our insurance was instated.) Her responses were automatic replies and unhelpful. The company is very very incompetent.
