Protect your pet with Waggel.

We know how it feels to worry about vet costs when you see your beloved Whippet with that soulful gaze. Maybe your dog breed has a sudden limp, or you notice they’re struggling with common health problems like progressive retinal concerns.

You don’t want surprises on your bill, and you don’t want to lose out on quality care. That’s why we’ve got a solution that protects your Whippet so you can breathe easier and enjoy those cuddles on the sofa for the rest of the day.

The unique nature of Whippets.

Whippet breed dogs are graceful, affectionate, and nimble, often compared to their larger cousin, the Greyhound.

Because Whippets have a strong prey drive, they love a good chase, but they also have a sensitive side that makes them sweet couch companions, especially as this breed’s short coat means they can feel the cold. That's why they enjoy extra cosy moments with their family.

Our team at Waggel believes in celebrating each pup’s quirks. Whether you’re looking after a dog with specific health problems or training your Whippet to socialise, our mission is to protect your Whippet with Lifetime pet cover and helpful tips so you can focus on playtime, not paperwork.

Why your Whippet might need insurance.

Insurance for your Whippet gears you up for surprises. Truthfully, no matter how careful you are, accidents can happen, and certain health conditions creep up without warning.

Your Whippet might need coverage to help manage costs for things like mitral valve disease, progressive retinal atrophy, or injuries from running too fast around the garden.

Veterinary bills can soar when it’s a specialist issue, so we think it’s smart to insure your Whippet early and keep that protection for life, whether you choose Waggel or not.

Many owners ask about exercise needs. After all, Whippets love a good sprint, but also love to laze on the sofa. Joint strain or occasional health conditions linked to high-speed activities can pop up.

Plus, routine care like vaccination or worming treatment helps keep your pup happy and healthy.

Having Lifetime cover saves you from juggling different pet insurance policies over the years. A single plan with Waggel means fewer headaches and more tail wags.
