We've been extremely disappointed with Waggel and definitely would not recommend. We have had 2 claims denied unfairly, in our opinion: - Our dog needed surgery to remove a retained puppy tooth; she was a puppy when we took out the insurance, but a puppy having puppy teeth was classed as a "pre-existing condition". - Our cat chipped a tooth and vet advice for the past 3 years had been to leave it as it was. The most recent check-up identified root pulp showing and recommended further work; this was denied. Apparently we should have had the tooth taken out within 3 months of the chip, against vet advice. Our vet even offered to follow up with Waggel as they thought it was unfair! Communication - I put in a request for information on Brucellosis testing, I never received a response. Finally, we decided to cancel the policies having paid £1100 for dental surgery this year on top of annual vaccinations and flea / worm treatment. Less than a week later we reconsidered and asked to re-start the policies. Waggel said this wasn't possible, we would have to obtain a new quote and start the whole process again, despite the policies being renewed this month. When I spoke to someone at Waggel about it, they were very unhelpful, just repeating the company line. In summary, I would not recommend Waggel. If you do decide to go with them, make sure you go over the policy with a fine tooth comb, as they seem to have wording to enable them to wiggle out of every claim. They are cheap for a reason!

I have had an insurance policy with them for the last 2 years and made my first claim last month. First they told me they couldn't pay it because it was in the first 14 days of my policy, ie my continued cover with them. When I contested this they said he had a pre-existing condition because he had a 24hour bout of sickness 11months prior. I did not make a claim, used the online Vet and paid the actual vet fees to get him checked out where I was told I was worrying over nothing bas he had probably just eaten something that didn't agree, as he was bright and responsive. Anti-sickness medication and he was right as rain the next day. They have used the fact my care and due diligence against me. They will use any excuse to avoid paying. God forbid it was something more serious and expensive. I will be going elsewhere from now on. Read more Read less

More interested in their procedures than their customers, vets or pets. My dog has a condition which needs life long treatment. Every month I get a supply of pills which keep him ok. Every month I submit a continuation claim and send the invoice. Now they tell me that they need a medical history for each continuation claim. When I point out that they already have his history, know what the treatment is, know how much has been paid they say they're following "formal procedures " The procedures don't tell them anything they don't already know and just create bureaucratic work for the vets. Waggel sucks Read more Read less
