Why Westminster Insurance

What's included in Veterinarian Insurance

Everything you need in one simple policy.

Professional Indemnity for Vets

Professional Indemnity insurance protects you if a client claims that your advice, service, or work caused them financial loss or reputational harm.

  • Protection if a client alleges financial loss or harm due to your advice or work.
  • Suitable for service-based businesses offering guidance or recommendations.

Public Liability for Vets

Public Liability insurance covers you if someone is injured or their property is damaged because of your work.

Essential for anyone interacting with people or working in different locations.

Build your policy to include cover for areas you need

We get it—insurance isn't top of mind. Animal care is.

You’re focused on diagnostics, emergencies, and emotional pet owners—not on decoding insurance policies or preparing for a legal claim.

Even with years of experience and best intentions, mistakes can happen—and when they do, they’re expensive.

Whether it’s a reaction to medication, an injury on your premises, or a client who believes you mishandled a case, a claim can disrupt your entire practice.

That’s why we’ve made protecting your veterinary business simple.

Our combined policy is quick to set up, easy to understand, and flexible enough to adapt as your practice evolves.

So you can keep giving animals the care they deserve—without putting your future at risk.
