What is dog grooming insurance?
Dog grooming insurance is a public liability policy that protects grooming professionals against claims for injuries or property damage that occur during grooming sessions or on their premises. It ensures financial protection for groomers working with animals, sharp tools, and specialist equipment.
It covers a range of scenarios where your grooming business could be held legally responsible for causing harm or damage.
Some key areas it typically includes are injury to third parties, damage to third-party property, legal expenses, and compensation claims.
Public liability insurance is crucial to dog groomers for several reasons:
- Business reputation: Insurance shows clients that you take safety and animal care seriously.
- Financial protection: Accidents such as bites, cuts, or damaged equipment can lead to claims, which insurance covers.
- Client Requirements: Customers feel more confident leaving their pets in your care when you’re insured.
What are the benefits of a dog grooming insurance policy?
Personal injury claims
Dog grooming insurance protects you if a customer or visitor is injured in your salon, such as tripping over equipment or slipping on a wet floor.
Damage to property
If you accidentally damage a customer’s belongings, such as clothing or a dog lead, this insurance ensures you’re covered.
Legal protection
Dog grooming insurance covers legal fees for defending your business against claims, whether or not you’re at fault.
* Subject to your chosen level of policy cover and the prevailing policy excess.
How much does dog grooming insurance cost?
This depends on the nature and size of your dog grooming business, the level of risk involved and any claims history you might have.
The cost of public liability insurance varies based on several factors:
Level of cover
Cover levels typically start at £1 million. Groomers working with multiple pets or in busy salons may need higher limits.
Nature of business
Premiums may be higher for groomers offering advanced services like de-shedding, teeth cleaning, or breed-specific styling.
Location
Where you operate can also influence premiums, with urban or high-traffic areas often incurring higher costs.
Business size and turnover
Groomers with a large client base or regular appointments may face higher premiums due to increased activity and exposure.
Number of employees
If you have other groomers or assistants helping in your salon, this can raise your premium due to the higher risk of claims.
Claims history
A claims history can influence pricing; groomers with no prior incidents often secure lower premiums.
