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.

Pumpkin is an Absolute scam

Pumpkin is an Absolute scam. I’m out ALL of the premiums I paid. I found out they have exclusion lists THAT ARE NOT listen in the contract. They call it “proprietary information.” It’s where the company can deny your claim based on “private company knowledge.” For example. IVVD and wobblers is considered curable with the surgery. Those conditions are listed on their “private list” As incurable. Therefore they will not cover them and they do not say they will not cover! I’m out over $1000!!! Just wanted to let everyone know before they throw away thousands and their pet is left with nothing if they get one of the unlisted conditions that no one knows about!

Absolute scam, they even admitted to being misleading.

SCAM!!!! THIS COMPANY WILL NOT COVER MANY CONDITIONS THAT ITS CONTRACT STATES IT WILL!!!! They call it “proprietary information.” Their private list they say allows them not not cover IVVD, wobblers and other conditions. No where in your contract does it say this. A represantive openly admitted to me over the phone they are misleading customers! I’m out over $1000 for bogus coverage and they refused to give me any money back at all for my premiums paid even though they NEVER spent a penny on my dog ever!!! Now they won’t do anything and just stole my money! I’ve reported to BBB and waiting on a response! DO NOT get this insurance. If your dog gets one of their many “unlisted exclusions” you will be out the money potentially thousands of you buy it on a younger dog!!! BEWARE!

Quick and Easy

Finding the best insurance for my furry familiars is tough. Researching every company is time consuming. Pumpkin made my decision easy and I feel much better knowing we have Pumpkin for all our health needs. I would (and have!) recommended pumpkin to others.
