Why animal professionals need coverage
You love the work. The risk comes free.
Working with animals means unpredictable moments are just part of the job. One incident can turn into a claim.
Your dog evaluation falls short
You certify a dog as behavior-ready for a therapy program. The dog washes out in week one, and the owner wants back every dollar they spent on fees, gear, and prep — all based on your professional assessment.
A grooming session goes sideways
You nick a cat during a nail trim. The owner claims negligence and demands to be reimbursed for the vet bill plus pain and suffering. Professional liability can cover legal costs.
A pet escapes while in your care
You’re pet sitting and the cat bolts out a door. The owner claims emotional distress and property loss. Even if the animal is found, the claim can be costly without coverage.
Most relevant for animal pros
