Why do pet stores need insurance?
The mix of critters and customers leads to a high risk of injuries at a pet store. Even if your focus is pet supplies, contaminated dog or cat food can lead to a hefty lawsuit. Pet store insurance can help pay for legal expenses, medical bills, theft, and accidents.

What types of business insurance do pet stores need?
These insurance policies cover the most common risks faced by pet shops.
Business owner's policy
A BOP bundles general liability coverage and commercial property insurance in one plan. It's often the most cost-effective type of commercial insurance for pet stores.
BEST FOR
- Customer injuries
- Stolen or damaged pet supplies
- Business interruption incidents
General liability insurance
This policy covers basic pet store risks, such as contaminated pet food that sickens an animal. Bundle it with commercial property insurance for savings in a BOP.
BEST FOR
- Customer injuries
- Damaged customer property
- Product liability insurance
Workers’ compensation insurance
Most states require workers' comp for pet stores that have employees. It also protects sole proprietors from work injury costs that health insurance might deny.
BEST FOR
- Employee medical expenses
- Disability benefits
- Lawsuits over employee injuries
Cyber insurance
This policy helps pet shops survive data breaches and cyberattacks. It's recommended for any small business that stores credit card numbers or other sensitive information.
BEST FOR
- Customer notification expenses
- Fraud monitoring services
- Cyberextortion demands
Commercial umbrella insurance
Once a pet store’s policy limit is reached, umbrella insurance (similar to excess liability insurance) boosts coverage on general liability, commercial auto, or employer’s liability policies.
BEST FOR
- Bodily injury lawsuits
- Property damage lawsuits
- Auto accident lawsuits
Commercial auto insurance
Most states require commercial auto insurance for business-owned vehicles. This policy covers accidents involving a pet shop's mobile grooming van or other vehicle.
BEST FOR
- Damage to another vehicle
- Injuries caused to another person
