Comprehensive Veterinary Business Insurance: Protecting Your Practice and Patients With The Allen Thomas Group

Veterinary clinic insurance agency

Veterinary business insurance is essential for veterinarians looking to protect their practice from potential damages and claims.

At The Allen Thomas Group Insurance Agency, we understand the unique challenges modern veterinary clinics face.

From medical malpractice and professional negligence to property damage and cybersecurity threats, veterinary practices need comprehensive insurance protection.

Our tailored commercial insurance solutions cater to every type of veterinary practice, ensuring you have the coverage you need to safeguard your business, staff, and patients.

How much does malpractice insurance cost for Veterinarians?

Malpractice insurance for veterinarians is relatively inexpensive compared to other healthcare professions.

For small animal veterinarians, a policy with $1 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate annual coverage typically costs around $250 per year

Equine veterinarians face higher premiums, with costs about 10 times higher than small animal vets, while the most affordable option from AVMA offers coverage starting at just $104 annually for a $25,000 defense limit.
