What our customers are saying
Why do pet stores need insurance?
The mix of critters and customers leads to a high risk of injuries for pet stores. Even if your focus is pet supplies, contaminated dog or cat food can lead to a hefty lawsuit. Pet store insurance can protect your shop from legal expenses, medical bills, theft, and other common retail risks.
