Why do pet businesses need insurance?
Whether you’re operating a grooming business, pet daycare, training facility, or a pet cemetery, pet business insurance provides peace of mind and can:
Protect your business from covered client lawsuits
Protect you from covered employee lawsuits
Support you if you experience covered property damage
During a routine dog grooming appointment, one of the groomers accidently cut Rusty’s nails too short, resulting in an infection and an expensive vet visit. The pet groomer’s professional liability insurance helped to pay for the client’s urgent care expenses.
While on his way to dropping off his German Shephard at Happy Dawgs pet day care, Owen slipped and fell on a patch of ice outside the front door of the business. Owen was injured and sued the Happy Dawgs for damages. The pet daycare business had Chubb general liability insurance, which paid for the cost of the lawsuit, including settlement amounts and attorney’s fees.
When a fire burned down her pet boutique, Amy was at risk of losing months of revenue while still having to meet payroll obligations. Her Chubb business interruption policy was able to help her pay herself and her employees until the store was rebuilt and up and running again.
Business Owner's Policy
A Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) can help protect pet care professionals with general liability and property coverage, including
Loss or damage to perishable property, like pet food, resulting from a change in a temperature-controlled environment, such as a refrigerator
Loss or damage to property or loss of business income due to contamination
Costs to dispose of animals that die from a covered loss
Cost of an emergency evacuation of animals on the premises
Costs associated with a product recall or expenses incurred to replace goods that are unfit or dangerous
A reward offered by your business for information that leads to a felony conviction of the person who stole or damaged your property
Chubb also offers a wide variety of optional coverages, tailored for pet care professionals, which you can add on to your BOP.** These include:
