Before you cancel your policy, you might still be able to make a claim for any medical bills that led up to the passing of your pet, as well as a portion of the purchase price you paid when adopting your pet.

To make a claim, log in to your Waggel account. On the Home tab, click the 'Make a Claim' button on the pet that has passed away. You will be prompted to select a type of claim and you can select 'My pet has passed away'.

You will then have option to make a claim for medical bills, a portion of the purchase price or to just cancel your policy.

If you don’t want to make a claim, you can let us know that your pet has passed via our online chat and we will cancel your policy for you.

It’s as simple as starting a new policy with Waggel. It is then up to you when you want to cancel your other policy.

Please be aware of pre-existing conditions that you might have incurred from your previous policy, as we won’t be able to cover those.

We also have a 14-day warm-up period, so you will only be able to make a valid claim after 14 days from your policy start date.

After you’ve entered the necessary information about your pet, you will then be able to choose your Annual Limit and Claim Contribution (Excess), which allows you to find the perfect policy to suit your coverage and budget needs.

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.

You can turn this off at any time by logging into your account and heading to your pets' policy page. There you will find the auto-renewal toggle. Otherwise, you can contact us and we can turn this off for you.

Your policy will renew on the same date each year. We will send you an email 30 days before your renewal date with a quote for your new policy, the new policy details and information on how to change your Annual Limit and Claim Contribution if you would like to.

Your policy will be set to automatically renew as default, but you can opt out of this at any time.

It won’t affect your current policy, but it might impact your price upon renewal, depending on the number of conditions claimed for and the total amount claimed in the year.
