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.

We do! Our policies cover up to £1,000 for dental treatments, per policy year as standard.
This covers treatments for accidents and illnesses, so long as your pet doesn't have any pre-existing dental conditions.
We will need your vet to confirm that your pet’s teeth and gums were healthy within the last 12 months.
If your vet recommends dental treatment, it must be carried out within 3 months.

We can cover emergency treatment that your pet might need while they are on holiday outside of the UK but within a country that is a member of the EU and the Pets Travel Scheme (PETS).
We can provide a maximum of 90 days within a policy period outside of the UK - this doesn’t have to be consecutive days.
Please note that if you have been advised against taking your pet on holiday by a vet, they will not be covered.
We aren't able to cover any third-party liability whilst travelling outside of the UK.
You would have received your policy documents in your welcome email when you signed up and after renewal each year.
You can also access these at any time by logging in to your account and heading to 'My Insurance' where you can view and download your Policy Wording, Terms of Business Agreement (TOBA), and Insurance Product Information Document (IPID) for each of your policies.
The first 14 days of your policy will be your warm-up period.
During this time, you will be covered for third-party liability (if you insure a dog with us), but we won't be able to cover the cost of any treatment that occurs within the warm-up period.
All you need to do is log in to your account, click 'Account' in the menu tab and then select 'Payment Schedule'. Here you will be able to view your full payment schedule, including all past payments and all future scheduled payments for your current policy.
