About Pumpkin: We are a new pet care company on a mission to ‘Make the best pet care possible fur all’. While pet ownership & adoption rates are at an all time high, 1 in 4 families are unable to provide the veterinary care they want for their pet, mostly due to financial barriers. We created Pumpkin because we believe 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.
