Pet Insurance That'sHere For It All.
Lifetime pet insurance up to £10,000 that includes dental treatment, unlimited free video vet calls, and a personally assigned UK-based vet nurse.
Our insurance.
Vet fees
If your pet becomes ill or is injured, we'll cover your vet fees up to the limits selected. This includes consultation fees, diagnostics, procedures, surgery and any medication.
Flexible coverage
You can adjust your Annual Coverage and Claims Contribution (Excess) at the start of your first policy and every year at renewal. It's just one of our many unique features and helps you to take control of your pet's policy.
Dental
At Waggel, we believe teeth and gums are an important part of your pet's health too. We cover treatment costs associated with dental-related accidents and illnesses up to £1,000, meaning our policies will give you and your pet something to smile about.
Travelling abroad
Jetting off with your pet? We'll pay for emergency treatment when you're on holiday outside of the UK and within a country of the Pet Travel Scheme for up to 90 days each year, so you can travel with complete peace of mind.
Purchase price
In addition to your Annual Coverage, we'll cover the purchase price of your pet up to £1,000 in the worst-case scenario that your pet goes missing, is stolen, or passes whilst under our protection.
Third party
When we say we're here to protect you and your pet, we mean it. We'll cover the legal costs and expenses associated with defending a claim involving your pet up to £2,000,000 if you are deemed legally responsible.

Frequently asked questions.
You always have the option to put money aside to cover any future vet bills.
However, by doing so, you run the risk of having not saved enough by the time your pet needs treatment. In addition to this, you might deplete the funds you have saved for any conditions that require ongoing treatment.
With a Lifetime policy, the only type of policy Waggel offers, you will be able to claim up to your chosen Annual Limit year-after-year.

We are all about being human. This means simplifying and personalising pet insurance.
Simplified
We only offer Lifetime policies that are designed to cover everything pet owners expect. Our policies are adjustable by Annual Limit and Claim Contribution (Excess), allowing you to make the necessary changes to get a policy to suit your coverage and budget needs.
Personalised
Every Waggel member is assigned a Customer Champion. All our Champions are qualified UK-based vet nurses and will be on hand to help you with any service issues or questions about your claims.
All members have access to our Membership Platform, where we provide free online vet video calls, free online behaviour & nutrition video consultations, and a number of rewards and discounts from independent pet brands.
A Lifetime policy means that your Annual Limit will be replenished every year. So as long as you keep your policy active by renewing it each year, your pet will be covered for life.
At Waggel, we only offer Lifetime policies.
Medical Bills
Your Waggel policy will cover vet bills for accidents, injuries, and illnesses, up to your chosen Annual Limit. This includes £1,000 for dental treatments (accident & illness) and £1,000 for complementary and behavioural treatments.
Purchase Price
We will cover a portion of your purchase price that you paid when adopting your pet up to £1,000 in the event your pet passes away, is stolen, or goes missing.
Third-Party Liability
For dogs, you are covered up to £2 million if your dog is responsible for injuring or damaging another person or their property.

You can claim with any vet practice, as long as they are a registered member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.
Your price might increase on renewal.
As pets get older they are more likely to go the vet and our pricing needs to take this into account.
We would also change your price based on the number of conditions you have claimed for and the total amount claimed, along with any inflation in veterinary costs and sometimes pricing model updates.
Don’t worry too much though, at Waggel we use caps on increases to try and avoid any shocks.

"Lots of people worry that 5-star reviews don't reflect reality and are given before trying to make a claim. Well, my claim just got approved and I can say it's been a 5 out of 5. I loved how easy the process was. I literally just had to click a button and that was it. This is how insurance should be!"
"Made my first ever pet insurance claim when my 1-year-old Golden Retriever broke a bone in her paw. Waggel contacted my vets and accepted the claim within 24 hours. Cannot fault the company, I'm very happy with their swift agreement and payout."
"I have to say never in my adult life have I ever claimed on pet insurance before. This was so straightforward and easy to use. Anxiety gone."
