Website is intentionally obtuse, plan is prohibitively restrictive (which you only find out after paying and setting up your account), support is nonexistent, claims are denied with no information and no appeal process, and everything is obfuscated through layers and layers of chatbots and disorganized webpages. Plan limits are set up in a way to make it nearly impossible to get any kind of value from the plan.
Don't waste your money.

Scam
Your claims will get denied for being “wellness” related despite it being within the scope of “illness”
There’s no alignment on if medical records are received. You’ll speak to a support rep and promised a call back only to then be ignored.
I’m glad there are so many competitors I can now consider. If you love your pet and your pockets avoid Wagmo.

They do not pay claims my dog has been…
They do not pay claims my dog has been feeling a little off so I brought her in to get checked up. Didn’t wanna wait two weeks for an appointment so I did an emergency appointment so I can go in same day submitted to Wagmo. They denied a claiming that this is just a wellness insurance illnesses or accidents or anything like that doesn’t count. What am I paying you for? Do we have enough insurance companies out here trying to screw us for money on a daily we’re just gonna add to it no thank you you trust me save your money. I’m going to lemonade. Maybe you should too.

Fraud, scam and cheat
My experience resonates Jacob Friedman's.
Been with them for nearly four years no issue till this year that switched to a different underwriter. Sent in multiple MR they asked for and only kept getting emails from them stating “we didn’t receive MR therefore all your claims declined”. (Red Flag 1)
Spent hours multiple calls with them, agents all sounded nice in order to eventually decline your claims. (Red Flag 2)
I finally had to record the conversation where the agent would change her statement back and forth (ie yes we got the MR, then she asked me again for the same MR which moment earlier she says they already have it) they are using AI bots that don’t comb through documents you’ve submitted even if they are open right in front of their eyes. (Red Flag 3)
My coverage got halved and premium doubled (over $150+ monthly) and so far they haven’t reimbursed my one and only claim (blood work) stating no MR received to process and denied the claims three times. (Red Flag 4)
Given that all MR submitted and documented on my end, they would then ask for something else (SOAP for lab work, which my vet doesn’t have since it’s done by technician) just to try declining any or all claims now and going forward. (Red Flag 5)

A Predatory, Bad-Faith Nightmare that Will Abandon Your Pet When They Need Coverage Most
Absolute garbage company run by scammers. Do not trust Wagmo with your pet's life or your financial sanity. They hide behind cute branding, trendy ads, and a slick app, but underneath the marketing is a predatory corporate machine that will ruthlessly dump your animal the second their profit margins slip.
They pulled a massive, coordinated corporate bait-and-switch by abruptly terminating their policy program with their underwriter, National Specialty Insurance Company, and dumping thousands of active, loyal policyholders into administrative run-off without a second thought. Then, they turned around and tried to extort their customer base by forcing everyone onto a garbage new provider with severely gutted coverage terms, massive deductibles, and monthly premiums that are literally three times more expensive than the original agreement.
This tactic is uniquely malicious and predatory toward senior pets. Wagmo knows exactly what they are doing. They know that if you refuse their overpriced, downgraded replacement plan, you are caught in an impossible financial trap. Trying to switch to a reputable, independent outside carrier means every single minor symptom, routine blood test, or historical reading in your pet's medical file over the years will instantly be flagged as a permanent pre-existing condition. Wagmo is actively weaponizing your pet's advanced age and medical history to force you to pay their premium ransom, knowing you have nowhere else to go for full coverage.
But here is what they do not want you to know: they have been officially reported to the state, and their former broker, National Specialty, is now under formal investigation by the Maryland Insurance Administration. The state regulators found enough severe, systemic issues with their tactics that the MIA had to step in and issue an official regulatory directive ordering the carrier to hold current policies in effect under state law.
Instead of complying like a legitimate business, Wagmo and their partners resorted to straight-up malicious compliance and bureaucratic sabotage. National Specialty responded to the state acknowledging the order, explicitly told me to wait for further billing instructions, and then completely blocked my ability to pay my premium. They, along with Boost Insurance Agency, deliberately blew past deadlines and refused to provide a secure payment link.
This is not a technical glitch; it is a calculated, bad-faith operational tactic to engineer an artificial policy lapse right before a scheduled veterinary physical. They are trying to manufacture a legal loophole to cancel policies, dodge new clinical findings, and escape state oversight. They are an ethically bankrupt, incompetent dumpster fire of an organization that will break contracts, defy state insurance commissioners, and lock you out of your own billing portal just to avoid paying claims for aging animals.
Avoid them at all costs, especially if you care about your rights and your pets. What they are doing is down-right illegal and EVERY pet parent needs to be aware before engaging with this predatory company.

Unexpected surgery for my pup fully covered
My Dog swallowed something he shouldn't have 2 days ago. When everything was said and done we were left with over 12k in vet bills for Xray, Ultrasound, Bloodwork, and surgery w/ anesthesia. Luckily Wagmo's insurance plan covered all of it, and my claims were reviewed and processed the same day I uploaded them.

Beware of wellness plan
Customer service is great they answer all your questions and are friendly, but the company principal/policy are ridiculous. I went in for a check up and the vet inform me that he wanted to do a bloodwork just in case so I agreed thinking it will be covered. I get the status of my claim it got rejected when though they are supposed to cover check and bloodwork which there was no medical or emergency reason. What the point of having a plan if they are going to reject you. I cancel my plan and won’t be going with them.
