Why do Veterinarians need insurance?
As a veterinarian, you take care of your customers’ furry best friends. You work long and irregular hours to diagnose health problems, vaccinate against diseases, set fractures, treat and dress wounds, perform surgery, and advise owners about their pets’ breeding, behaviour and feeding.
Pet owners naturally get upset if something goes wrong during a routine visit. In this case, you may end up facing allegations of malpractice, even though you've done everything possible to provide a good standard of care. Aon's vet insurance policy addresses the everyday needs of veterinarians. It's a comprehensive professional indemnity and public liability policy to protect a vet's practice, reputation and assets in the event of a claim or dispute
