Veterinary Practice Insurance — Coverage, Cost & Requirements
Veterinary practices face a unique intersection of professional liability, animal care risk, and premises exposure. A misdiagnosis, a surgical complication, or an adverse drug reaction can result in a claim from a pet owner who views their animal as family. Veterinary practice insurance covers professional liability (malpractice) for diagnostic and treatment errors, general liability for client injuries on your premises, care custody and control coverage for animals in your care, commercial property for your medical equipment and facility, and workers' comp for staff bitten or injured by patients. Practices with boarding or grooming add-ons need additional care-custody endorsements.
