LEGAL


Damages Claims

We strongly recommend that all dog owners have insurance to cover you for third party liability claims.


If you do not have insurance cover available and you face a claim for damages caused by your dog, then (as a general rule) you will be liable if:-

  1. The incident was due to your negligence (ie, you did something you should not have done or you failed to do something that you should have done), or
  2. Your dog has behaved in a similar manner on a previous occasion and you were aware of it
