 Veterinary practices face a unique mix of medical, professional, property, and operational risks every day. From malpractice claims and animal injury to drug handling liability, employee injuries, cyber threats, and expensive medical equipment, even one incident can create significant financial and legal exposure. Properly structured veterinary insurance is essential to protect the practice, staff, patients, and long-term income from unexpected losses. 

 Animal mortality represents the financial risk associated with the unexpected death of an insured animal due to illness, injury, accident, or disease. For owners of high-value animals such as horses, livestock, and breeding stock, a loss can mean not only the loss of the animal itself but also lost income, genetic value, and future revenue. Mortality insurance is designed to help protect against these losses by providing financial recovery when an insured animal dies unexpectedly. 

 Pet insurance helps pet owners manage the cost of unexpected veterinary care by reimbursing a portion of eligible medical expenses when a covered illness or injury occurs. Coverage typically includes accidents, illnesses, diagnostic testing, imaging, prescriptions, surgeries, and emergency care. Many policies also offer optional wellness coverage for routine services such as annual exams, vaccinations, and preventive treatments. Pet insurance allows owners to focus on their pet’s health—not the financial stress of care.
