Protect your pet with Waggel.
Do you ever feel uncertain about whether you’re giving your West Highland best friend the protection they deserve?
Perhaps you worry about vet bills if your beloved West Highland White Terrier develops skin problems or dry eye.
Those stresses have a way of weighing on our minds.
Fortunately, there’s a way to offer your Westie the security you’ve always wanted. Let’s explore how West Highland Terrier insurance from Waggel can help your furry companion flourish.
What makes your West Highland White Terrier unique?
The West Highland Terrier, often called Westies, are a confident, charming, and intelligent breed.
Sporting that signature white coat, they love a good adventure but can be prone to certain conditions, like corneal ulceration or an ear canal infection.
Known historically as the Poltalloch terrier, this breed has a long lineage in Scotland.
Their spirited temperament can bring a smile to your face, but it also means you want a comprehensive policy in case of injury or illness. That’s where a tailored Highland white terrier pet insurance policy really comes in handy.
If you want a broader sense of the breed and their characteristics, have a look at our West Highland White Terrier Breed Guide.
The value of Lifetime cover with Waggel.
We believe that insurance to protect your West Highland terrier dog should last for their whole life. Waggel’s single policy type (Lifetime) has no hidden catches. If your pet experiences an ongoing accident or illness, our annual limit resets each policy year.
That level of consistency matters because West Highland White Terriers can be prone to certain ongoing common health issues, such as idiopathic epilepsy or craniomandibular osteopathy.
Unlike insurers who might drop coverage once a time limit is reached, Waggel’s Lifetime approach means you can keep your dog covered year after year, so long as you stay on the policy.
Average monthly cost and common health expenses.
Some families hesitate to take out insurance because they suspect covering terrier breeds might be expensive.
However, the cost of pet insurance for your West Highland with Waggel is often surprisingly manageable. In fact, the cost of West Highland pet insurance in the UK has an average monthly cost of £29.00 as of March 2025.
This shows how continuing coverage can be more budget-friendly than footing hefty vet bills after injury or illness occurs.
