For the last three years, PIF has successfully partnered with one of UK’s leading insurance brokers, Jelf, to provide peace of mind around issues and core risks faced by groomers, sitters, home boarders and walkers.

A bespoke and competitive product for PIF’s kennels and catteries has been developed which offers protection around employers and public liability, animal theft, personal accident and loss of animal boarding licences and fees. It is available now for PIF members to purchase.

Nigel Baker, PIF CEO said: “Kennels and catteries represent a strong and consistent sector within PIF membership. They have very specific needs compared with other pet businesses and some of the greatest responsibilities when it comes to animal care. We are delighted to offer our members a fantastic level of cover and reassurance at a great price, to allow them to protect their business and the pets they look after.”

Policies are subject to terms and conditions, and each member’s specific requirements and circumstances.  More details are available on request when you contact the team at Jelf.

Furthermore, Jelf has affirmed and sealed their commitment to the kennel and cattery sector by becoming the sponsor of the ‘Kennel and Catteries of the Year’ award at the annual Pet Industry Federation awards, which will be announced on Tuesday 28 November at Whittlebury Hall in Northamptonshire.

The awards celebrate success, innovation and entrepreneurialism in the UK pet industry, and they have grown in popularity each year, with extra categories developed in 2017 to enable even more businesses to showcase their achievements. Ticket packages will be announced very soon on the Pet Industry Federation website.

Any PIF members who would like to get a quote from Jelf and find out more about the product can contact the team on 03458 695342 or email pif@jelfgroup.com.
