Is dog grooming insurance required by law, or for working with apps/salons/grooming contracts? 

  • Workers’ Compensation is legally required in most states if you hire employees. 
  • Landlords typically require general liability before leasing space for a grooming salon. 
  • Mobile groomers may also need commercial auto insurance to operate legally. 
  • Some pet service contracts, boarding facilities, or franchise agreements require proof of coverage to protect both the groomer and their partners.
