The reality

To them, it's a family member.
To your policy, it might be excluded.

01

Care, custody & control isn't standard. It's essential.

General liability doesn't cover animals in your care. A dog escapes. A cat dies during boarding. A grooming accident sends a pup to the emergency vet. Without care, custody & control coverage, you're paying out of pocket—and pet owners don't forgive.

02

Bites happen. To your staff and to other people's pets.

A dog in daycare bites another dog. Your groomer gets bitten breaking up a fight. An off-leash dog on a walk bites a pedestrian. You need coverage for both sides—animals injuring people, and animals injuring each other.

03

One bad Yelp review can end you. One lawsuit can bankrupt you.

Pet parents are emotionally invested. When something goes wrong, they don't just complain—they litigate. Professional liability protects you when you're accused of negligence, even if you did everything right.

"We work with carriers who specialize in animal care businesses. They understand the risks—and they don't exclude the coverage you actually need."

What is pet services insurance?

Pet Services insurance is a commercial insurance program built around the risks of a pet services business. It may combine several policies or endorsements rather than relying on one standardized product.

What coverage should a pet services business consider?

Common options include General Liability, Commercial Auto, Workers Comp, Property. The appropriate combination depends on the company’s actual operations, employees, property, vehicles, contracts, and the exclusions in each policy.

How much does pet services insurance cost?

Cost depends on factors such as revenue, payroll, location, services, property values, vehicles, limits, deductibles, and claims history. An insurer must review the individual business before providing a reliable premium.

What risks should a pet services business disclose?

The application should accurately describe third-party injuries, property damage, employees, vehicles, equipment, professional services, and contractual requirements. Undisclosed or incorrectly described operations can affect eligibility, pricing, and how a policy responds to a claim.

What information is needed for a pet services insurance quote?

A broker commonly needs the legal business name, address, services, annual revenue, payroll, employee count, property or equipment values, vehicle and driver details, prior losses, current policies, desired limits, and requested effective date.

Can Panta guarantee coverage for a pet services claim?

No. Coverage depends on the issued policy’s terms, limits, deductibles, exclusions, conditions, and the facts of the loss. Panta can help compare and explain available options, but the insurer issues the policy and determines claim coverage.
