Dog walkers insurance

All animal lovers will know and appreciate the variety of personalities and characteristics that pets can exhibit, particularly when they are about to embark on one of their favourite activities. The ‘w’ word has to be top of the list for dogs and it’s fantastic to share this experience with so many four-legged friends on a daily basis. But things can go wrong when you least expect it, which is why dog walkers insurance should be a top priority.

So what are the risks? And what are the potential consequences? Keeping a dog on a lead goes a long way to ensuring they and everyone around them are safe; but what happens when they spy a cat to chase or get spooked by something unexpected? Could you cover the cost of an incident on the road if one of the dogs in your care caused it? Or the medical bills and compensation costs if a dog was to bite someone whilst under your supervision?

Dog walkers insurance helps to mitigate the potential financial consequences of accidents, injuries, or legal proceedings and can help to ensure that the dog walker is able to continue their work with peace of mind.

At Premierline, we offer dog walkers insurance that can be as simple or comprehensive as you require depending on your business operations. When thinking about what insurance and covers you need to protect your business, you should consider the following:

• Public liability – to cover you against unforeseen events that could leave you and your business exposed to financial loss
• Employers’ liability – to protect your employees against accidents at work and any damages awarded as a result
• Personal accident cover – to tide you over in the event that you injured yourself at work
• Business legal expenses – to cover the cost of legal expenses or defend your business against legal action
• Commercial vehicle cover – if you use a vehicle or a van for business
