If you are one of the few who don’t have cover we would advise that you think about putting it in place for this purpose, it may be worthwhile. The reason for us giving you this advice is to protect yourself in the event of your animal lashing out, and injuring someone or damaging someone’s property, if that were to happen, and it is established that your animal was out of your control you may be held responsible,

or partly responsible for any Injury or damage caused & may end up paying all, or part of any settlement reached.
