Business insurance

Insurance for Dog Boarding Kennels

Boarding kennels carry a specific mix of risk because you have animals in your care 24/7. Public liability covers injury to visitors or damage on your premises, while animal-in-care or care, custody and control cover responds if a boarded dog is injured, becomes ill or escapes while in your charge. Add contents and property cover for your runs and equipment, and workers' compensation if you employ kennel hands. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover and the value of your facilities before the new financial year.

Common questions

Dog Boarding Kennels — insurance questions

Does public liability cover a dog that gets injured in my care?

Not usually on its own. Public liability covers people and their property, but injury or illness to a boarded dog generally needs animal care, custody and control cover. For a kennel, that distinction matters, so it is worth confirming both are in place.

What happens if a boarded dog escapes?

An escape can mean a lost or injured pet and a liability claim, which is exactly the scenario care, custody and control cover is designed for. Reviewing this cover around your 30 June renewal keeps your protection matched to how many dogs you board.
