1. Insure your practice with veterinary
pet insurance
Veterinary pet insurance is a must for all veterinarians who are serious about protecting their career,
practice and income.
Being a veterinarian and seeing a high number of injured pets as a result of accidents, you
understand that the unexpected happens all the time. One minute you can have a thriving veterinary
practice, and the next someone has broken into your practice and damaged or stolen your
equipment. Having veterinary pet insurance can reduce the costs involved in cleaning up and
replacing items, allowing you to get back to business sooner. Insurance companies, such as Petplan
Professional Insurance, even offers veterinary pet insurance cover for the theft of items without
forcible entry into your practice. For incidents that take longer to recover from, such as storm and
fire damage, veterinary pet insurance can assist with the rebuilding of your place of business, as well
as helping you to continue to meet your bills and rent obligations.
If an accident or illness prevents you from working, veterinary pet insurance can help you to
maintain your income, continue to pay your veterinary nurse wages, and help you with the costs
involved in hiring a locum veterinarian. This allows your practice to continue trading and ensures
clients are kept happy. It also reduces the risk of your clients turning to your competitors while you
are out of action. As well as protecting your practice and income, veterinary pet insurance is tailored
to protect your career with cover available for professional indemnity if someone were to take legal
action on you or your practice. Veterinary pet insurance also provides cover for expenses involved in
tax audits, including accountant fees.
For veterinarians and their support staff with pets of their own, veterinary pet insurance can provide
protection for pets as well. For those with Petplan Professional Insurance, this cover can extend to
third party public liability insurance. This means, for example, if your dog accidentally injured
someone and they were subsequently unable to work for a month and they sought monetary
compensation from the owner, veterinary pet insurance can help cover the payments.
Veterinary pet business insurance is essential for all veterinarians as it takes away financial stress
when things go wrong, allowing you to recover quicker, think clearer and return to work sooner.
Petplan Professional Insurance offers veterinary pet insurance exclusively to veterinarians and their
support staff to cover all facets of insurance as mentioned, including professional indemnity,
business; and even home, car and corporate travel policies. At Petplan Profession Insurance,
veterinary pet insurance policies are tailored for each veterinary practice with complete support
available, including expert insurance advice and services.
