Appropriate business insurance to cover liability claims related to grooming dogs
If you love taking care of animals — a dog, in particular — opening a small pet grooming business is probably something you want to start. After all, if you find it enjoyable to spend a day with a pet dog, you may not feel that you’re working.
But like other businesses, opening a professional dog grooming business may be quite risky as well. As well as performing services as a dog groomer, you are liable for anything that happens to the animal under your care. In case a dog gets injured, or worse, dies, you need appropriate business insurance cover to take care of related costs.
