Excellent service from start to finish. The team took time to understand exactly what I needed and found me a great policy at a competitive price. Couldn't be happier with the whole experience.
Been with Chris Knott for over 5 years now. Easy renewal process and the team are always a pleasure to speak with. Proper UK-based advice you can actually trust.
After being let down by my previous insurer, Chris Knott made the whole process painless. Honest, straightforward, and friendly from the very first call. Highly recommend them.
Andy was brilliant - talked me through all the options clearly, no pressure, and found me a much better deal than the comparison sites. This is how insurance should be done.
I needed specialist cover for my classic Jaguar and Chris Knott sorted it quickly and at a great price. Really impressed with the level of knowledge and personal service.
Switched my home insurance after a recommendation from a friend. Very competitive premium and the whole thing was done in under 20 minutes. Very pleased with everything.
First-class service. I dealt with Emma who was patient, helpful and knew exactly what I needed for my thatched cottage. Got proper specialist cover, not a standard policy.
Genuinely good old-fashioned customer service. A real person who actually listens and helps you find the right cover. Wouldn't go anywhere else for my insurance now.
Had a claim last year and Chris Knott supported me throughout. Made a stressful situation much easier. Fair, fast, and professional - exactly what you want from a broker.
Renewed my multi-car policy today. Still the best value I've found anywhere and the team remembered me from last year. That personal touch really makes a difference.
Very helpful team, especially when I needed to add a modified vehicle to my policy. Talked me through everything and made sure I was properly covered. Excellent all round.
Chris Knott have been brilliant for my listed property - most insurers wouldn't touch it but they found me comprehensive cover at a sensible price. Grateful for their expertise.
Efficient, clear, and competitive. I ran through three comparison sites before calling Chris Knott and they beat them all. UK-based team made the whole thing painless.
Outstanding from start to finish. I've recommended Chris Knott to everyone I know - my parents, my sister, and even my colleagues. They never let anyone down.
The service is what sets Chris Knott apart. You get proper advice from people who understand insurance, not a script. Worth every penny and more.
Boarding kennels face distinctive insurance challenges unlike standard business operations. Your facility houses other people’s cherished pets in a controlled environment, with staff managing multiple animals with different temperaments, health needs, and behaviours. This creates unique liability considerations and property requirements.
Your kennels likely include specialised accommodation units, exercise areas, grooming facilities, and food preparation spaces. You may also have valuable equipment specific to animal care and management. Standard commercial insurance policies often fail to address these specialised needs, making dedicated boarding kennels insurance essential.
The responsibility of caring for living animals brings additional risks beyond typical business concerns. Animals can become ill, injured, or escape; property damage can occur from animal behaviour; and liability extends to both the pets in your care and their owners visiting your premises.
General business insurance policies rarely provide adequate protection for boarding kennels operations. They typically overlook critical aspects of your business, including:
Our tailored Boarding Kennels Insurance understands these unique risks and provides appropriate coverage to protect your business, staff, clients, and the animals in your care.
Our Boarding Kennels Insurance policies can be customised to your specific requirements, typically including:
Essential protection if a client, visitor or member of the public suffers injury or property damage related to your business activities. This covers legal costs and compensation claims, with limits available up to £5 million to meet licensing requirements.
Specific protection for animals while they’re in your care, covering veterinary fees if animals become ill or injured during their stay through no fault of negligence.
Comprehensive protection for your kennel structures, including runs, exercise areas, office space, and any specialist animal housing units against risks like fire, flood, and storm damage.
Coverage for business equipment, computers, animal care supplies, food stocks, and other contents essential to your operations.
Mandatory cover if you employ staff, protecting against claims from employees who may suffer illness or injury as a result of their work.
Financial protection if your kennels cannot operate due to an insured event, helping cover ongoing costs and lost income while you recover.
Coverage for vans or other vehicles used in connection with your kennel business, including animal transport if required.
