About us
At Wagmo, our purpose is to unlock every pet parent’s potential to provide extraordinary care. We’re a team united by a shared commitment to helping pet parents feel confident and supported at every step of their journey.
What we believe
Being a pet parent is both a privilege and a deep responsibility. It’s driven by love, purpose, and the deep desire to do right by the pet who depends on you. It means showing up, every single day, with compassion, care, and the unwavering determination to be the best version of yourself—for them.
At Wagmo, we believe that every pet parent has the potential to be extraordinary. We know that being there for your pet is more than just managing their needs, it’s about becoming the kind of person your pet already believes you are.
We’re here to empower you on your journey to be the best pet parent possible by offering financial relief, proactive guidance, and everyday tools that blend into your routine to make care easier and more accessible.
Our pet healthcare offerings are built around the real journey of pet parenting, helping you navigate the hard stuff, celebrate the joyful stuff, and show up for your pet when they need it most. We enable pet parents to not only feel prepared, but proud.
Because extraordinary pets deserve extraordinary care. And we’re here to support you to become the kind of pet parent you aspire to be.

Our origin story
After a life-saving insurance experience with her own dog, Wagmo’s co-founder and CEO Christie Horvath realized most pet parents skip coverage because it only helps in emergencies.
Inspired by a conversation with her brother, she launched Wagmo in 2017 with a simple idea: start with benefits pet parents could use every day. Rather than focusing only on emergencies like everyone else, Wagmo created plans that help with the regular care every pet needs to stay healthy.
Wagmo became the first company to offer standalone wellness plans in addition to insurance and televet, giving pet parents a simple way to get help with routine care without having to buy full insurance coverage.
