Wagmo vs. Wag! Wellness

Let us guess: you found this article while comparing pet wellness plans. You could use a little extra help with your fur-child's routine vet expenses, and you're not sure how to choose the right plan.

We understand how difficult it can be to sort through all the jargon to make the most informed decision. That's why we've broken down the pros, cons, and coverage options of two of the biggest names in pet wellness coverage: Wagmo and Wag!.

Wagmo is a pet insurance provider that also offers standalone wellness plans for preventative care. We realize Wagmo and Wag! have similar names, but we're separate companies with no affiliation.

With a Wagmo insurance or wellness plan, you're free to visit any vet. Unlike some pet wellness plans (like Banfield), Wagmo is available in all 50 states. Wellness coverage begins as soon as your payment is successfully processed.
