Many groomers begin with general liability and add animal bailee / pet floater coverage for the pets in their care. From there, the picture depends on how you work — mobile rigs, employees, online booking, and extended services like boarding or daycare all factor in. None of this binds or guarantees coverage; the right mix depends on your operation, your state, and the carrier.
