Gentle giant

Whilst browsing the web, I came across this story on the BBC website about “Britain’s Biggest Dog” - a Newfoundland cross Great Dane called Samson. Despite his awesome size, his owners say he is very placid and a big softie. Have a look at the full story on the BBC website.

With any dog, especially one the size of Samson, at Grove Lodge we strongly recommend everyone takes out pet insurance. With the credit crunch squeezing everyone’s wallets, it seems tempting to cancel a policy that perhaps you’ve never used. However, it often proves to be a false economy. For example, if your dog or cat is involved in a road traffic accident, the vet’s bill could run into thousands and you can be sure it will be the day after you’ve cancelled your policy! Surgery for a fractured leg performed by our Orthopaedic referrals vet and subsequent vists to our Physiotherapist can be time consuming and costly. Think very carefully before making what could be a very expensive mistake.
