Insurance for pet groomers

Get a customized policy that will protect your business, whether it’s from your home or a commercial space.

As a pet groomer, you work with household animals like dogs and cats to make them look their best! You can’t always predict what a pet is going to do in your care, or if a client is going to slip on the stairs while heading into your shop. This is where having pet groomers insurance can be helpful, as it can help cover some of the the costs of a liability lawsuit and more.

What types of insurance coverages do pet grooming professionals need?

Business liability

Any incident that results in an injured customer could lead to legal action and expensive lawsuits – for example, someone slipping on an icy sidewalk during our harsh Canadian winters. Commercial general liability coverage can help you recover from these costs.

Professional liability – pet care endorsement
When insuring your business with TruShield Insurance, your business liability extends to respond to claims that arise out of the rendering (or failure to render) of animal grooming professional services.

Property insurance

Expensive grooming equipment can get damaged or stolen – commercial property insurance can help you protect these valuable tools and pay for the costs to replace them when a covered loss occurs.

Pet care services property endorsement

When insuring your business personal property with Trushield Insurance, in addition to having the coverage you need for your business property, you would also be adding valuable coverage that could help to indemnify you for the loss or damage to animals belonging to others that are in your care or custody.

Cyber event expense insurance

If your business uses software or online tools for bookings, to collect payment, or for day-to-day operations, then your business is at risk of cybercrime. Cyber coverage can help you recover from expenses caused by cybercrime.

Commercial auto

If you have a car that you or your employees use for things like customer visits or other business activities, you require commercial auto insurance.

How much does pet grooming insurance cost?

The cost of insuring a dog or pet grooming business depends on a variety of factors, such as:

Revenue
Location of business
Claims history
Cancellation history
Additional services your business may offer, such as overnight boarding
If you work with exotic animals or horses
Additional coverage options you add on to your policy, such as cyber insurance

Why do pet groomers need insurance?

Prevent costly losses

Insurance can help a small business recover from covered losses, like cyber attacks or slip-and-falls on your property.

Reassure your clients

Pets are important members of the family, and clients may require that you show proof of insurance when they’re trusting them to your care. Knowing you’re protected from losses can give them peace of mind. It’s just one way insurance can enhance your reputation and help your business grow.

Competitive advantage

Insuring your business can help you open doors and stay ahead of your competition. It lets potential clients know that you’re a responsible business owner and gives you a leg up on competitors that don’t have this coverage.
