Veterinary Office Insurance

Veterinary practice insurance covers California clinics around both clinical judgment and the animals in their care. It typically includes professional liability for veterinary malpractice, animal bailee coverage for patients in your care, custody, and control, property coverage for high-value medical equipment, general liability, cyber liability, and workers’ compensation once you have employees.

The animals in your care are family to the people who bring them in, and that trust sits at the center of your risk. We help California vets protect the practice, the team, and the animals you treat.

Veterinary Office Insurance Features

What does it cover?

  • Professional liability (veterinary malpractice), for claims tied to the care you provide.
  • Animal bailee coverage, for patients in your care, custody, and control.
  • Property coverage, including high-value medical and diagnostic equipment.
  • Workers’ compensation, required in California once you have any employees.
  • Cyber liability, for the client and payment data you store.
  • General liability, for slips, bites, and premises exposures.

How we help: we help you build coverage around both sides of the practice, the clinical care and the business, and we keep your expensive equipment properly accounted for.

Generally no. GL typically excludes professional services, so veterinary malpractice coverage usually handles care-related claims.
