Offices & Professional Services

As a professional and a small business owner, you balance two very different roles: delivering services that your customers have come to count on while also managing all the logistics of running a small business. You have unique opportunities—as well as unique risks due to the many hats you wear each day.

Here is what a small business owner had to say about working with ERIE.

Vet’s Four-Legged Patients Find Cool Relief

Greystone Animal Hospital Raleigh , NC 1 employee

Vet with cat

It was a brutally hot summer day when veterinarian Dr. Barbara Farmer’s air conditioning unit broke in her animal hospital. But just because it was uncomfortable didn’t mean her four-legged patients could wait.

“I ended up buying 10 fans to keep us cool,” she said. “But we really needed our air back. I had surgeries to do.”

Barbara has counted on her ERIE Agent since she opened her one-doctor practice in 2004. The broken air conditioning unit was her first claim.

“I was looking at $7,000 out of pocket which would have been really difficult for me because I’m a small business owner,” said Barbara. “But, fortunately, I had business coverage and my agent really came through for me. I couldn’t have been any happier with how I was treated."

With ERIE’s help, she was able to quickly get on with her work, including the routine surgical procedures she does on cats and dogs for a local rescue shelter.

“I tell everyone about my claims experience,” Barbara said. “They all know Erie Insurance took care of me — and their pets.”
