Our take
Waggel was founded on the belief that pet insurance should be seamless and simple. By stripping away the traditional stresses, complexities, anxieties, and fears often associated with insurance, Waggel is reinventing the industry with its intuitive and easy-to-use platform.
Established names in this industry include Allianz PetPlan, L&G Pet and Direct Line Pet. However, 45% of cat or dog owners do not have pet cover as many are unconvinced by the value pet insurance offers. Waggel targets these untapped customers who cannot or would not commit to a standard annualised insurance policy by offering a pay-as-you-go subscription model.
With customers demanding transparent, digitally-based solutions, Waggel is well-placed for filling this niche and offering a solution for the next generation of pet owners.
