Insurance solutions for veterinary practices

Public liability insurance

Public liability insurance helps protect your business against claims for injury to third parties or damage to their property arising from your business activities. For example, if a dog in your care causes injury to a member of the public or damages someone’s property, this cover may help protect your business against the resulting claim.

Care, custody & control

One of the most important covers for professional dog walkers, this insurance helps protect you if a dog in your care is injured, goes missing or dies while under your supervision, subject to the policy terms and conditions.

Optional additional insurance add-ons

Professional indemnity

If you provide behavioural advice, training recommendations or other professional services for a fee, professional indemnity insurance can help protect your business against claims arising from that advice.

Cyber liability

If you manage bookings online, store customer details or process electronic payments, cyber liability insurance can help protect your business against cyber threats and data breaches.

Business interruption

If your business is temporarily unable to operate following an insured event, business interruption insurance may help cover ongoing operating expenses while you recover.

Theft & money

Insurance can be arranged for theft of business equipment, contents, stock and money, helping minimise financial disruption if the unexpected occurs.

Management liability

If your dog walking business has a company structure or employs staff, management liability insurance can help protect directors and business owners from certain management-related claims.
