We hate nasty surprises as much as anybody, whether it’s on the carpet when we get home or hidden away in a pet insurance policy. Waggel’s all-inclusive, Lifetime pet insurance policies have been designed to give you everything we’ll think you’ll need and more. We’re talking about one comprehensive, Lifetime, pet insurance policy that even covers dental care.

Why Waggel?

So you’re considering taking out pet insurance but where do you begin when there are so many policies to choose from? We’re one of the UK’s leading pet insurance providers for many reasons but here’s why we think we’re a cut above the rest:

If only all insurance was as straightforward and easy to understand as Waggel pet insurance. So simple to sign up to as well.

“Absolutely disgusted in the policy increase on renewal this year from £10.42 to nearly £16. Whilst the increase is five pound and a number of pence it’s the percentage increase of over 50% and this after over two years with the insurance provided and making no claims. All companies seem to be taking advantage of us as consumers hiding behind the media hype around

Absolutely disgusted in the policy increase on renewal this year from £10.42 to nearly £16. Whilst the increase is five pound and a number of pence it’s the percentage increase of over 50% and this after over two years with the insurance provided and making no claims. All companies seem to be taking advantage of us as consumers hiding behind the media hype around the cost of living. The average wage increase in 2023 for private sector is 6.7% and 4.1% for public sector. However, companies are inflating prices and expecting us to go with the flow.

Hi David, I am sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction. There are a number of reasons for the price increase which include vet inflation, a change in the breed price and also when a pet gets older each year prices increase gradually. If you would like to discuss your renewal further, please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind regards, Mareia
Outstanding. Straight forward and once all the information was collected my claim for approved.

I am so grateful to have both my dogs insured with Waggle. Waggle provides peace of mind that whatever reason my dogs require veterinary care it will be covered. All I do is tell them the date of surgery and the costs to me and they do the rest - the live chat is a great function and the Customer Services Operators are so kind and helpful - I would definitely recommend Waggle to anyone with a dog

Warning! By far one of the worst pet insurance companies I’ve ever had the misfortune of dealing with, the staff give misinformation and constantly contradict them selves to try and bend the rules so as not to pay out for straight forward and honest claims. After being a supervisor at a very will known world renowned Ape Sanctuary Monkey World in Dorset, with years of animal care, this is by far the worst experience I’ve had with an insurance company who’s marketing campaign says, Pet Insurance Sucks! They claim to have yours and your pets best interest at heart? the very pets we try so hard to protect. Be warned! Waggle like they say have changed it, they’ve made it worse! if you care about the welfare of your pets health and well being and an insurance company that doesn’t suck, think very carefully about choosing Waggle. in my humble professional opinion, there are more honourable insurance companies out there to protect your pets best interests.

Hi Paul, I am sorry to learn of your dissatisfaction. Here at Waggel we pay all eligible claims, however, are unable to cover claims for any pre-existing conditions. Are you able to email me at complainst@waggel.co.uk so that I am able to investigate this matter further. Kind regards, Mareia
Took out "reasonably" priced insurance for my Golden Retriever puppy 12 months ago. Excess very high,but I chose the excess based on the premiums. This year the premium has gone up almost £5,and based on this I can only anticipate how much it will go up over the years,and so will be no different than the leading insurance provider,tho the excess will still be far higher. I have sourced better cover with a true lifetime policy with less excess,at a far lower price. I am very aware this will increase over time but I doubt it will increase more than waggel does. Feel very let down by this company who I had big hopes for. Dont believe the clever marketing-it will suck you in(pardon the pun as "suck" is a word used by Waggel as part of the aforementioned marketing hype. Goodbye Waggel-you will get NO recommendations from me.

Hi Rosanne, Here at Waggel our customers choose their own excess when setting up the policy. This is so that each individual can tailor the policy to suit their own budget and needs. I am sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your renewal price, the reason for the increase included vet inflation and your pets older age. Please also bear in mind that at Waggel we not only provide insurance cover, but all of our customers have access to member benefits which are not always available with other insurance companies. This includes free video calls with vets 24 hours a day, free access to a behaviourist and nutritionist and each month we provide hand picked rewards for you and your pet. We wish you and your furry friend all the best for the future and hope to see you soon back with the Waggel family. Kind regards, Mareia
I have found Waggel to be by far the best Pet insurance company I have used up to now. They are so easy to deal with, and the claim process is simple even for me who is not very computer literate. My experience with Waggel so far is excellent!

Waggle have been amazing throughout my whole experience … it’s a very stressful time when your pet is ill or injured and knowing that the insurance claim has been very simple and stress free has been brilliant. Thank you waggle x

Basically, no matter how cute the website, or how competitive the price, what you need to know is how the claim process goes. I have been a Waggel customer for 4 months. My dog got an eye infection. I used the free app to talk with a vet who told me to see my local vet ASAP. I saw the vet and got eye drops. It cost me £71. As I have a £50 claim contribution, I thought this was a good claim to make (small, easy, one off). I used the website. It literally took 2 mins. I then had a long wait for my vet and Waggel to communicate (no idea what the hold up was, it may have been my local vet) but after about 2 weeks, Waggel asked me one clarification question, then within a day, they agreed to pay out. And today the £21 went into my account. Really easy. No issues. I will report back as to what the insurance policy increase to at renewal, but hopefully it will be negligible. From illness to money in the bank was 24 days.

I first saw waggle on my tablet in an advertisement so I had a look and seems to be very good and very straightforward to fill in your application online

Great service by the team. My claim was denied, I clarified the information needed and my claim was approved. Thank you for your hard work.

Excellent service and no fuss, I did not really expect my claim to be successful as it only involved the dogs eating grapes, but I am delighted the Insurance covered this anyway, very pleased with the outcome. Thank you very much

As with any insurance there are questions etc but once I knew what I was doing it was very straight forward and the people on the chats were so lovely and very helpful I asked many many questions and they were always polite. And the whole process was very see through. Very happy. They paid out for my 11year old dog to have surgery for a lump removal.
