Your coverage should be clear anyway. A veterinary practice is a medical office, a surgery suite, a pharmacy and sometimes a boarding kennel, all in one building. That's why a standard office policy rarely fits on its own. We work with clinics and animal hospitals, and we also hear from specialists like veterinary neurologists and acupuncturists. The center of the program is **veterinary professional liability**, which responds to claims tied to the care and treatment you provide. Right next to it is **animal bailee coverage**, which may help when a pet is injured, lost or dies while in your care, custody or control for reasons outside the professional treatment itself, like boarding or grooming. The two work together, and the line between them matters. Then there's the clinic itself. **Property** for the building or build-out, **equipment breakdown** for surgical, imaging and lab equipment, and **business income** if a covered loss closes the doors. Practices also hold client records and payment data, so [cyber liability](https://egoodwininsurance.com/policies/cyber-liability/) is worth a look, along with [EPLI](https://egoodwininsurance.com/policies/epli-insurance/) once you have a team. As with any policy, benefits depend on the coverage you choose and its limits. ## What a vet clinic actually needs. In the order it matters. Start with the care you provide and the animals you hold, then protect the clinic, the equipment and the team. Start here Vet PL ### Veterinary Professional Liability Responds to claims that the care or treatment you provided harmed an animal. It's a specialized coverage, and it helps pay defense costs as well as settlements. Animals in care Bailee ### Animal Bailee May help when a pet is injured, lost or dies while in your care, custody or control, such as during boarding or grooming. Limits are often per animal, so we look at what you handle. Core Liability ### General Liability A client bitten in the lobby, a slip in the parking lot, damage to a landlord's space. It's what your lease and your community will expect you to carry. Core Property ### Property The building or your build-out, kennels, furniture, pharmacy inventory and supplies. Plan for spring and summer storms and winter pipe freezes. Equipment Breakdown ### Equipment Breakdown Surgical tables, anesthesia, imaging, lab analyzers and HVAC. Equipment breakdown may help repair or replace them after a covered mechanical or electrical failure. Downtime Income ### Business Income If a covered loss closes the clinic, business income may help replace lost income and keep paying payroll and rent while you recover. Client data Cyber ### Cyber Liability Client records, payment details and practice software. A breach can bring forensic, notification and legal costs plus downtime. Coverage varies by policy. Your team EPLI ### Employment Practices Liability Responds to claims like wrongful termination, discrimination and harassment. Worth a conversation for any clinic with techs, assistants and front desk staff. Ohio rule BWC ### Workers' Compensation Ohio is a monopolistic state, so workers' comp comes through the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC). We help you coordinate and review it, and look at stop-gap employer's liability. ### Adding boarding, grooming or a new service? New services can change what your policy needs to cover. Call us before you launch, and we'll check it and shop it if needed. Free, no pressure.

What insurance does a veterinary clinic need in Ohio? Most clinics start with veterinary professional liability, animal bailee coverage, general liability and property. Many add equipment breakdown, business income, cyber liability and EPLI. Workers' comp comes through the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC). What is animal bailee coverage? It may help when an animal is injured, lost or dies while in your care, custody or control, for reasons outside the professional treatment itself. Boarding and grooming are common examples. Limits are often set per animal, so we look at the services you offer and how many animals you handle. How is veterinary professional liability different from general liability? Veterinary professional liability responds to claims tied to the care or treatment you provide. General liability covers things like a client injured on your premises or damage to someone else's property. Most clinics need both, plus animal bailee coverage. How do I protect expensive surgical and diagnostic equipment? Property coverage protects equipment against things like fire and storm damage. Equipment breakdown may help with covered mechanical or electrical failures. Equipment that leaves the clinic may need inland marine coverage. Benefits depend on the policy and its limits. Do vet clinics need cyber liability? It's worth a look. You hold client records, payment information and practice software. A breach can bring forensic, notification and legal costs plus downtime. Coverage varies by policy, so we'll go through the details with you. What happens if a covered loss closes my clinic? Business income coverage may help replace lost income and keep paying ongoing expenses like payroll and rent while the clinic is repaired, depending on the policy. How does workers' comp work for my staff in Ohio? Ohio is a monopolistic workers' comp state, so employers get coverage through the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC), not private carriers. We don't sell it, but we help you coordinate and review it and look at stop-gap employer's liability on your business policy. Why use an independent agency for a vet clinic? We represent multiple insurance companies, so we compare options instead of offering one company's policy. We work for you, not an insurance company, and we stay with you from the first quote through renewals. Still have questions? [Call (740) 387-8335](tel:+17403878335) .
