It goes without saying but looking after other people’s dogs is a big responsibility. You must have public liability insurance in place to protect your business. There are other types of insurance available that will cover you for theft, damage, repairs, fire, injuries, dog runaways, legal fees, natural disasters – anything that poses a risk to your business.
For example, professional indemnity insurance protects you against claims for loss or damage made by clients or third parties as a result of the impact of negligent services you provided or negligent advice you offered.
If you employ staff, employer’s liability insurance is compulsory because employers are responsible for the health and safety of their employees whilst at work.
Always get professional advice when it comes to organising your insurance to ensure you’re protecting your business in the best possible way. Don’t cut corners with insurance – you need to ensure you’re covered should anything happen.
