Our take

Wagmo is a pet wellness company with a tech-first approach, designed to cater to the needs of new pet parents with a range of wellness and insurance plans. The company provides two primary pet health plans: Wagmo Insurance for emergency care and Wagmo Wellness for routine pet maintenance.

Backed by the National Speciality Insurance Company, Wagmo connects pet parents with budgeting tools, reliable veterinary care providers, and trustworthy advice, ensuring pets receive the care they deserve. These are provided to individuals on subscription or as an employee benefit through the workplace.

Wagmo has made a number of impressive partnerships, such as with online pet care marketplace Rover, to extend its reach and influence. Most recently it teamed up with Curql, who also made a strategic investment in the company. This opens up a new channel through which Wagmo can deliver pet insurance, wellness reimbursements and 24/7 virtual veterinary care to credit unions and their members.
