  Virtual Summit Recorded Webinar

  (One of 25 webinars that were featured in PPG's August Virtual Pet Care Summit)

  Presented by Laura Bridges from Business Insurers of the Carolinas

  CEUs: PPAB 1 
  

  
  

  This presentation is designed to present Pet Professional Guild (PPG) members with an overview of insurance coverages that may be used to cover exposures to risk in their pet services businesses. It will go through PPG’s liability policy, including care, custody and control/animal bailee and veterinary medical coverages, as well as other general liability, professional liability, commercial property/equipment/business owners’ policies, workers’ compensation, commercial auto, bonding and umbrella policies. The presentation will include actual claims examples from the claims files at Business Insurers of the Carolinas in an effort to provide members with an understanding of the types of claims often seen and that are specific to the pet care/service industry.
