Building Insurance Companies That Also Cover Liability Caused by Domestic Pets

Quick question

Does anyone know building insurance policies that also cover liability caused by domestic pets. Other than comminsure I haven't found any.

I wonder what other people do, whether they get seperate pet insurance etc.

This is to cover big dogs that are well behaved but just to be safe.

thanks

What are you worried they would do or break?

Accidental Damage Cover usually includes for yourself and your pets

edit: There are limits to this, pets gradually damaging furniture over time won't count and it depends how they break something. You'd need to read the PDS closely.

Are you looking for Building or Contents insurance?

With my old work we'd cover damage by pets in Accidental Damage no problem, but it wasn't specifically stated in the PDS.

When you say "liability", are you referring to the dogs breaking things, or attacking people?

    Does CommInsure really cover liability from dog bites? I'm surprised, it's not usual.
