Boarding and Insurance

Pepsi's People · Jan 23, 2008

There was a thread a while back about setting up a boarding business and replies mentioned needing insurance. However these 2 links about what to look for in a good boarder don't mention it as far as I can tell.

What risks / eventualities would the insurance cover and is it necessary?

BTW I'm thinking of our holidays - not setting one up :lol:

Hi Mike:wave:
Any good boarding establishment will have good insurance. Small animal boarding establishment dont have to be licensed like kennels and catteries do, so there is very little comeback if things do go wrong i.e noone who can revoke a trading license etc,, but the boarder should have cover in place for the very minimum, custody, control, loss, theft of your pet.

E.g - If by whatever means your pet was to escape, you would able to claim the cost of any loss to you as a result - little consolation I know if a much loved pet goes missing, but say e.g your pet was injured whilst in their care you could claim any veterinary costs incurred as a result from them.

Any good boarder hopefully will have good measures in place to ensure things like this don't happen, but it can give some peace of mind that in the event something does go wrong there is cover in place for both the company and the owner. HTH
