PEACE OF MIND

Hi, although recently new to Waggel I can say I feel reassured and have peace of mind that my chihuahua will be in good hands and well cared for should the need arise or an emergency happen.And with online help and advice even more so for just that extra help anytime .

The perfect pet insurance for new pawrents

5
Having recently adopted our first rescue dog, I spent ages searching for the right pet insurance, trying to understand why you would want to have to choose between lifetime illness cover or annual cover (paying half the price but leaving you zero cover for any new lifetime condition after the first year?!) When I came across Waggel I saw instantly that they were different. They seemed to actually be thinking about what pet owners need from insurance when caring about their pet - we’re not talking house contents here, we’re talking about caring for your four-legged family member! And the prices are affordable! While we thankfully haven’t had to make a claim yet, I have already made use of the free 10min First Vet video consultations included in the monthly subscription. It’s a fantastic service which helped to put our mind at ease when our pup was really poorly with diarrhoea, whilst we were on holiday and couldn’t get to our local vet. I have already recommended them to other friends and will continue to do so! Reviewed on: 16th August 2020

Ridiculously easy and transparent

I've been Waggel for over a year now, and everything from getting a quote to claiming is super easy, and they keep you informed all the way. This is how pet insurance should be.. Reviewed on: 15th August 2020

Sensible and considered insurance at a decent price

Waggel takes a proactive approach to pet health - access to short video consultations with a vet means I'm far more likely to seek advice without the trials of wrestling an angry cat into a basket and dragging it across London. I'm not sure who gets more stressed, me or the cat, so visits to the vet used to be a last resort. Being able to ask for an opinion on a gunky eye or snotty nose without taking the cat out of his environment is therefore hugely valuable. It means that symptoms are treated well before they become serious, which helps the pet, the owner and the insurer in the long run. The product seems like it's been designed from the bottom up, rather than a template insurance product tweaked to fit the subject, whether it's pets, caravans or a stamp collection. I've recommended Waggel to a few friends now. Not just the access to an online vet, but also because it's user friendly, pricing is visible and sensible, and it feels very obviously run by human beings who care about their pets. It's also succeeded in a friendly tone that hasn't tipped over into the very irritating Innocent-style: the lad down the pub who mistakenly thinks he's everyone's hilarious best mate.

Very helpful when needing answers to a few questions. Liked how easy the process was to sign up. Policy plan terms seem well priced and fair for what is covered. Reviewed on: 15th August 2020

Amazing! Welcome to 2020!

Waggle is what Monzo is to banking... innovative, bold, and new! Very easy to navigate and super user friendly. Only way to improve it by creating an app. Reviewed on: 15th August 2020

Our Sparkle is back!

I reviewed a number of pet insurance companies, and it was a no brainer, the reviews, the cost, the customer service.... our cat ‘Sparkle’ was in trouble, limping and not eating, he was able to fully recover after Waggle helped pay for the vet bills. Our Sparkle is back! thanks to Waggle Reviewed on: 14th August 2020
