Protect Your Pup, Your Guests
& Your Peace of Mind

Help keep holiday gatherings safe for everyone. Even the friendliest dog can become overwhelmed by extra people, noise, children, deliveries, or unfamiliar activity.

 

A few simple precautions can help:

· Use baby gates, closed doors, or a crate to give your dog a safe space.

· Consider a leash or appropriately used basket muzzle for dogs that may be reactive.

· Closely supervise interactions with guests.

· Pay attention to signs your dog is uncomfortable, such as cowering, lip licking, avoidance, or
growling, and give them space.

· Consider professional training for ongoing reactive behaviors.

 

Our pets are family and protecting them also means planning for situations that may make
them uncomfortable.

 

One last tip, check your homeowner's insurance because dog-related coverage can vary by insurance company and policy.

​

A few questions worth asking your insurance agent:

• Does my policy cover injuries caused by my dog?

• Are there breed or dog-history restrictions?

• Does coverage follow my dog away from my property?

• Do I have enough liability coverage?

• Would I need separate animal liability coverage if my dog were classified as dangerous?
