Blog 5 Must-Have Insurance Coverages for Veterinary Clinics

Running a vet clinic means juggling medicine, business, and a whole lot of barking. Between staff, equipment, and unpredictable patients, the risks add up. The right insurance doesn’t just protect your building. It protects your reputation, your team, and your bottom line.

Please note: coverage cannot be bound or altered online. A service representative will need to contact you to finalize your request.

Here are five coverages every vet clinic should have on their radar:

1. General Liability

This covers injuries or property damage that happen in your clinic. If a client slips on a wet floor or gets scratched in the waiting area, general liability helps with medical bills and legal fees.

2. Professional Liability (Vet Malpractice)

If a client claims your treatment caused harm to their pet, this is the coverage that kicks in. Even great vets get blamed when emotions run high. This helps cover the cost of defending your practice.

3. Commercial Property Insurance

Vet clinics often have expensive equipment and medications on-site. If your building is damaged by fire, storm, or theft, this policy helps you repair or replace what was lost.

4. Workers’ Compensation

Your team works closely with animals and that comes with risk. If a tech gets bitten, scratched, or injured lifting a dog, workers’ comp helps cover their medical bills and time off.

5. Cyber Liability Insurance

You’re storing patient records, payment info, and maybe even X-rays. If your system is hacked or compromised, cyber coverage helps pay for recovery, legal costs, and client notifications.
