Industry Code: 02117

Exempt

This industry includes businesses that provide services for household pets including short term accommodation (kennels), grooming, and obedience lessons.

Operation Details:

Businesses in this industry may provide only one of the services listed under the general business activities section, or they may provide a combination of services. Personnel may be employed to feed, wash, exercise, train, and groom pets; in addition to cleaning animal housing facilities, booking appointments and addressing client concerns, or instructing pet owners on pet care or obedience.

Businesses in this industry may also raise breeds of domestic animals for sale to the public or to pet stores, and/or provide stud services or quarantining.

Kennels and pet grooming salons may also sell a variety of pet foods and supplies; however, the primary business is that of a kennel or pet grooming salon.

Businesses who are providing mobile services for pet care will be classified under this industry.

Underwriting Considerations:

Kennels provide pet services on behalf of the pet owner, whereas pounds and shelters operate on behalf of a municipality to enforce animal bylaws, pick up stray animals and destroy unclaimed animals. The operation of a pound or shelter is classified in industry 02116, Animal Shelters/Pounds.

A pet owner who hires an individual to care for their pet in their home may obtain coverage for the individual under industry 87300, Domestic Help.
