UK Veterinary care is expensive! Pet insurance is there to protect you from such disasters and also provide a lifeline to your pet as you may not necessarily be able to afford the best treatment at the time.

Dog dies following kick by baby-sitter

Animal Friends Cat Insurance

Dog survives serious injuries miraculously Ray Bratton strongly believes that miracles do happen, after an incident which saved the life of his pet dog. Mr. Bratton was out for a walk with his dog Homer, a Labrador, near his home in Westbury. Homer disappeared and was found three days later near a railway track. He was suffering from a severe wound which stretched from his stomach to his backbone. MR Bratton straight away consulted the vet and Homer was shifted to a nearby hospital. The vet examined Homer and started his treatment. Homer recovered in a few days and was found fit to be home.       What really happened? 

Mr Bratton said that he found his pet unconscious in a heap in the field. He had a shockingly long wound stretching from stomach to his backbone which did not appear to be bleeding.  He was found very weak so Mr. Bratton went back home, took a basket, settled the dog in it and ran directly to the vet. The vet instantly started the treatment and Homer was under examination for 24 hours. The dog was operated and was fine in a couple of days. An investigation revealed that the pet was hit by the wheels of the train. The heat of the wheel sealed the wound. It was a miracle which saved the life of Homer.
