Bottom Line

What is Wagmo?
Wagmo is a company offering both insurance policies and wellness plans to help you care for your pet. By combining the two, you can protect yourself from vet bills for both emergencies and routine care.
Wagmo Wellness is available in all 50 states, but its insurance plans aren’t as widely available. According to a 2020 press release, Wagmo insurance policies are available in 14 states.
Wagmo doesn’t have an age limit on its website, but it does limit coverage for certain conditions based on age (like hip dysplasia), so be sure to check that your pet qualifies.
How does Wagmo work?
Wagmo Wellness coverage starts as soon as you sign up, but there are some waiting times for insurance policies. For accident and illness insurance coverage, there’s a 15-day waiting period, and there’s a 30-day waiting period for cancer treatments.
Once you pay your bill at the vet’s office, you can submit your claim to Wagmo for reimbursement. The company will reimburse your wellness costs in 24 hours through either a bank transfer, PayPal or Venmo. Insurance claims are processed in two weeks or less.

Wagmo FAQ
Is there a waiting period for Wagmo pet insurance?
Yes, Wagmo has waiting periods for insurance:
- For everyday accident and illness coverage, there is a 15-day waiting period.
- For cancer treatment, there is a 30-day waiting period.
Wellness plans do not have a waiting period, though.
Does Wagmo pet insurance cover MRI scans?
Probably, but it’s worth asking Wagmo to be sure. The sample insurance policy on Wagmo’s website states that diagnostic and laboratory tests are covered, but it doesn’t specifically mention MRI scans.
What vet can I go to with Wagmo?
You can go to any vet you want because Wagmo reimburses you after the fact.
Does Wagmo have a coverage limit?
Yes, but they depend on which type of plan you have:
- Wagmo insurance will cover up to $10,000 per incident and up to $100,000 in claims over your pet’s lifetime.
- Wagmo wellness has coverage limits that vary by procedure and coverage plan. With a Value plan, Wagmo will cover a certain number of procedures annually, subject to a maximum dollar amount. Higher-tier plans have additional allowances for the extra procedures they cover and, in some cases, higher limits for procedures covered by the Value plan. See Wagmo’s universal membership agreement for more details.
How long does it take to get reimbursed by Wagmo?
Once you submit your claim, Wagmo should reimburse your wellness claims within 24 hours, and it should reimburse your insurance claims within two weeks.
Reimbursements are made through bank transfer, Venmo or PayPal.
What is Wagmo’s cancellation policy?
It depends on which service you sign up for:
- Wagmo insurance policies can be canceled at any time. You just have to notify the company in writing about your intention to cancel or to not renew. You will need to include the date you want your cancellation to take effect.
- Wagmo wellness plans can be canceled as well, but they have more stipulations. If you haven’t made a claim and you’re within the 24-hour grace period, you can cancel or adjust your plan for a full refund. However, canceling a wellness policy in other situations will result in a fee.
Is Wagmo worth it?
Wagmo is a good option if you’re looking to protect both your pet and your finances. It has a variety of coverage options, and it’s upfront about what it offers. While it isn’t helpful if your pet has preexisting conditions or develops hip dysplasia at an older age, it is still worth considering for most pet owners.
