What is Pet Care Insurance?
Watching pets is a significant responsibility, and with such a responsibility comes some risk. Should a pet become injured, become ill or pass away while in the care of a business, the business might be held liable. Pet care insurance may offer Massachusetts businesses that watch pets protection in the event of a covered injury, illness or death of an animal.
Pet care insurance is a particular type of commercial insurance that has been specifically designed for pet care businesses. Since most of these businesses face several risks, the policies normally come with multiple coverages that are packaged together.
What Businesses in Vermont Should Have Dog Day Care Insurance?
The majority of Massachusetts businesses that take care of pets can likely benefit from the protections afforded by doggy day care insurance. This includes both businesses that watch pets for just a few hours (or less), and those that board pets for several days or weeks at a time.
Additionally, “dog day care insurance” shouldn’t be assumed to only apply to businesses that watch dogs. Businesses that watch animals of any type might want this kind of policy.
Some specific examples of business that generally should consider purchasing dog day care insurance are:
- Dog day care centers
- Pet boarding centers
- Pet sitters
- Dog walkers
- Pet transportation companies
Veterinarians that offer boarding services likely also need the protections found in a dog day care policy. These protections alone, however, likely won’t be sufficient for a veterinarian. A broader policy that offers dog day care protections alongside other protections is probably necessary in this situation.
