Ideally, animal shows should be fun for humans, animals and everyone involved in the event. However, issues resulting in lawsuits sometimes occur at such shows and having animal show event insurance in place can mean the difference between paying a little or a lot.
Front Row Insurance provides a quick, efficient, and easy to use domestic animal show insurance program available for purchase online, 24/7. The animal show event venue can be added as an additional insured to the policy.
Protect the animal show events that you’re hosting with short-term event insurance: 
Aside from the requirements of the venue, why should you consider animal show liability insurance? If someone is injured through an accident at an animal show that you are hosting and you are found legally responsible, this coverage will protect you.
Below are some unfortunate real-life incidents that have occurred at animal shows. These events may or may not have had insurance.
Dog bite injury in Florida | Dog show event insurance
At a dog show in Florida in 2009, an attendee was bitten by a dog and sued the kennel club to seek compensation for her injury.
If the kennel club had been an additional insured on a dog show event insurance policy, the policy would pay for the cost of a lawyer to defend the venue. Commercial General Liability coverage (in Front Row’s event insurance policy) is designed to protect against all sums up to the coverage limit that the insured shall become legally obligated to pay for bodily injury to third parties arising out of the operations of the insured event.
Animal show property damage | Animal show insurance
Even domestic animals that are normally well behaved can occasionally lash out and cause damage to property. At a dog show in New York in 2015, one dog ran into the crowd and bit an onlooker’s expensive coat, badly tearing it. The attendee sued the dog show for damages.
Commercial General Liability coverage (in Front Row’s event insurance policy) is designed to protect against all sums up to the coverage limit that the insured shall become legally obligated to pay for property damage to third parties arising out of the operations of the insured event. It includes the cost of a lawyer to defend you.
