Hey pet pros,

To say July is tricky for pet safety is an understatement. You’ve got hot pavement, fireworks sending pets into panic mode, seasonal pests, backyard escapes, extreme weather, and heat exhaustion risks to contend with. And all during your busiest time of year.

You already know what to watch for, but a checklist helps organize your prep before your next appointment. We have just the thing.

Pet-Proofing for Summer Safety: A Toolkit

We put together an indoor/outdoor, room-by-room pet proofing guide built specifically for professional pet care, not just pet owners. This is more than the common sense stuff. It’s based on what PCI actually sees go wrong, with real claim examples from pet pros like you.

What’s inside:

  • Room-by-room hazard guide with real examples of what goes wrong (and why)
  • Printable walkthrough checklist you can reuse in every season
  • The four highest-risk moments in home pet care (and how to plan for them)
  • Outdoor space, entryway, and escape-prevention ideas
  • Special tips for pet-proofing on the fly in a client’s home

And make pet safety simpler this summer.

Comparing Employee Dishonesty Coverage & Bonding

PCI’s employee dishonesty coverage is similar to a bond, but there may be some key differences to consider.

Employee dishonesty coverage:

  • Can be purchased in the same transaction
  • Doesn’t run credit checks
  • Provides $10,000 per occurrence and $25,000 aggregate coverage

Bonds may differ from our dishonesty coverage by:

  • Checking your credit during the application process
  • Having a “Conviction Claus;” Often bonds won’t pay on claims unless there is a conviction
  • Many require you to reimbursement the bonding company after a claim is paid
