Protect your pet with Waggel.
Have you ever felt slightly uneasy about rising vet bills or the worry that your beloved Chow Chow might develop a tricky health concern?
Many pet lovers share this anxiety, especially when they have a sturdy yet sometimes aloof guard dog like the Chow Chow.
That sense of uncertainty can keep you up at night. No one wants to face a hefty veterinary bill alone.
Relax with Waggel’s dog insurance, which aims to protect you and your four-legged companion when life happens.
Understanding your Chow Chow’s unique needs.
Why does a Chow Chow need special coverage?
A Chow Chow might look like a cuddly teddy bear, but this breed is known for its proud stance, bold temperament, and occasional aloof nature.
Chows can be fiercely devoted to their families, yet they may also have some tendency toward health conditions that call for extra support. That’s where a strong pet insurance plan comes into the picture.
Navigating coverage can feel confusing. You might not be sure if you need a Lifetime policy, whether you should insure from puppyhood, or how to deal with pre-existing conditions.
We get it, it’s a lot to balance. Thankfully, Waggel has simplified everything for you with our single, flexible Lifetime policy.
(Quick heads up: If your Chow Chow does happen to have any issues before enrolment, then those pre-existing conditions won’t be covered by Waggel. Learn more here.)
Common health issues in Chow Chows.
Your Chow is majestic, but they’re also prone to specific health conditions, including hip dysplasia (which can affect mobility) and entropion (inward-rolling eyelids).
Treating these or other ongoing issues without insurance can quickly add strain to the household budget.
The cost of Chow Chow pet insurance in the UK with Waggel often runs around £36.00 per month on average, which is a big relief when the following conditions potentially cost so much to handle:
Note: Costs are approximate and can vary based on location and specific veterinary practices.
Because a Chow Chow can be a wonderful guard dog and companion, insurance ensures that if any of these procedures arise, you won’t feel financially cornered.
Why risk big surprises later when you can protect yourself right now?
Cost of insurance versus medical bills.
Many pet owners ask if it’s worth insuring a chow or simply saving day to day. But vet treatments for your dog breed can reach thousands, especially for surgeries like fixing entropion or stabilising hip dysplasia. It’s comforting to know that paying around £36.00 a month (as of March 2025) for your pup’s coverage can keep those expenses in check.
Worried your Chow’s policy might jump up in cost or cap out if you ever make a claim? We’ve seen that concern a lot, so Waggel designed a flexible Lifetime policy that reinstates your chosen annual limit each year.
