Non-negligent cover
Your policy will include non-negligent cover. This is provided free of charge and the effect is to add insurance where your customers suffer a loss, due to accidental injury, straying or theft of their pet, while you are looking after it, but where you are not under a legal liability to pay compensation.
The benefits are
- Veterinary fees incurred following accidental injury to an animal in your care, custody or control;
- Accidental death of an animal in your care, custody or control, resulting from injury;
- Loss of an animal in your care, custody or control resulting from theft or straying and where the animal is not found or returned within seven days.
The maximum amount payable is £10,000 any one incident, and claims are subject to an excess of £50.
Property damage cover
We are able to arrange cover for mobile equipment and other property used in association with your animal physiotherapy business, including treadmills and hydrotherapy pools.
If you work from permanent premises, insurance cover is available for buildings, fixed equipment and contents. Business interruption cover may be added, in order to protect your income following damage by an insured peril.
Equine hydrotherapy insurance cover
This policy is designed for therapists working with small animals. Please contact our equestrian department if you work with horses.
Household insurance cover
Where you run an animal business from home, you must inform your household insurer and restrictions in cover may be imposed on you. Failure to inform your insurer may invalidate your policy. With this in mind we have arranged a household policy that covers owners who run an animal business from home, subject only to the Public Liability cover for the business being arranged on a separate policy.
Please see our household insurance section for further details.
