Questions About Liability Insurance for Pet Boarding
What is Liability Insurance for Pet Boarders?
Pet boarder insurance covers claims related to the day-to-day operations of your pet boarding business. As a trained professional, you do your best to keep your furry clients safe as you watch them overnight for their owners. However, you are at risk of accidents each time you’re with a client. Protect your business and join the others who love their coverage from Insurance Canopy.
Why Do I Need Pet Boarding Insurance?
Your clients appreciate the training that you have been through to become a pet boarder, because that means you can take care of their pets when needed. Although it may not seem like you face risks every day as a pet boarder, there is always the chance of an unplanned incident taking place. Purchase an insurance policy to protect your business.
If a pet gets sick or injured while in your care, or if property damage takes place, you could be held liable for any of these incidents. Whatever the case, when those accidents happen, you’ll be glad you’re insured.
Why Should I Have Insurance?
Being insured is an essential part of being a pet boarder. It’s an important component of your business to protect your financial assets if you were to be sued as a result of your business operations. You could be held liable for common slip-and-fall accidents, client injuries or illnesses, or damages arising from your pet boarding services. The legal costs alone from any of the above could put you out of business. With Insurance Canopy, you’ll be protected from common claims and have coverage in the case that something goes wrong.
How Much Is Liability Insurance for Pet Boarders?
Pet Boarder Insurance, which offers you both general and professional liability insurance, starts at $292.20 per year.
How Does Animal Bailee Work?
Animal Bailee covers expenses related to animal’s injuries or death–which you are legally liable for–while it is in your care, custody or control. The base policy provides $5,000 per occurrence and has a $10,000 aggregate limit. Higher limits available if needed.
Can Insurance Canopy Cover My Boarding Business?
If you board five (5) or fewer pets at once, keep pets no longer than 30 days, and meet your other policy conditions, you may qualify for pet boarder coverage. If you take on more pets or offer longer stays, this isn’t the right policy for your boarding service. However, we can still cover your other services, like dog walking or pet grooming.
If you don’t qualify for an Insurance Canopy policy, we don’t leave you to fend for yourself! Boarders who keep 6+ pets at a time or for 31+ days can get coverage through our A-rated partner, CNA. Questions? Contact us at 844.520.6993.
