Our animal event insurance will keep your event on track.
Dog show insurance and other forms of animal event insurance is designed to protect the finances of event organisers. If your business involves running animal events, dog shows or fundraising activities, it is important to have the right level of insurance cover.
If you are a stallholder at an animal event or dog show, then our Stallholders insurance will be more suited to your needs. If you are a participant at an event, then you will require your own personal insurance, but please do check the organiser has their insurance in place before taking part. They can receive a quick free quote on animal event insurance with us.
Insure Our Event are able to cover one day events or week-long and beyond, encompassing all your needs in a single policy that is easy to understand. For animal event organisers wanting to cover their mandatory employers liability insurance obligations, see our information on Employers’ Liability Insurance.
Animal events and dog shows, like any large-scale event, include a high degree of risk. Often overlooked, many potential unexpected circumstances can occur, resulting in an expensive claim. Animal event shows require a comprehensive insurance policy and an experienced event insurance team which can provide valuable guidance.
