With more dog owners preferring to leave their loved ones with a dog daycare instead of a kennel or home alone, doggy daycares have become a lucrative business. And while running a home away from home for dogs can be fun, it also carries with it a lot of risks and a ton of responsibility. From dog fights to accidental poisonings to a client or member of the public being bit or injured, even the most diligent dog daycare workers can’t protect your business from the unpredictable nature of canines. With the right dog daycare package, you can help prepare your dog daycare in case the worst happens.
Liability Risks for Dog Daycare Businesses
Whether you run a dog daycare for a few dogs from your home or a dog daycare facility for several dogs, the following scenarios are common for pet care business professionals:
- A dog biting another dog, staff or visitor to your dog daycare.
- A dog in your care runs away while on an offsite walk.
- Feeding a dog something that makes them sick or have an allergic reaction.
- A dog in your care mysteriously becoming ill.
- Forgetting to give a dog its medication.
It’s important to remember that when it comes to protecting their pets, people can get emotional and sometimes file lawsuits even if you’re not to blame. Pet Business insurance is here to protect you in case of accidents, mistakes and baseless claims.
