Having a hobby or passion doesn’t just have to be for when we’re young, and that includes horse riding, which can be a skill picked up later in life (see our blog on taking up horse riding in later life). We recently caught up with our customer Sally who, after 20 years of not riding, […]

Many of us can relate to the notion that as we get older, companionship doesn’t just come in the form of the humankind, but also from pet ownership. Here at The Insurance Emporium, we caught up with one of customers, Jayne, who told us about her dog, Boo, and her recent experience when having to […]

Most pet owners understand how difficult it can be when our furry friends become ill or injured. Especially when we can’t identify the cause of the problem! That’s what happened earlier this year with John and Muriel when they noticed a problem with their cocker spaniel, Benji. We’ve spoken to the couple all about Benji, […]

If you’re a dog owner, you will never want your pet to be feeling any less than one hundred percent. Sadly, however, this isn’t always the case, as owner Alan Staggs discovered when his two-year-old Dogue de Bordeaux, Star, became unwell. We heard from Alan to hear about his family’s experience, Star’s illness, and her […]

It’s never easy seeing one of our canine companions feel under the weather, let alone two of them! We spoke to Lynda Hickman whose two dogs, Eddie and Poppy, both recently became ill. Eddie the Lakeland Terrier has been suffering from bilateral otitis, a type of ear infection, while poor Poppy the Australian Silky Terrier […]

All pet owners know that it’s never nice to see your furry friend in discomfort. Fortunately, if you spot a problem early, it can often be easier to nip it in the bud. That was the case for Duke, the six-year-old Boxer, who was recently diagnosed with an abnormal growth of bone in his spine. […]

Every pet owner knows how important a furry friend can be to their family, which is why it can be so difficult when they’re no longer around. Unfortunately, this is what happened to the Cook family and their cat, 14-year-old moggie, Tom Thomas, recently, after he became unwell. We’ve spoken to Mandy Cook to find […]

Dogs are renowned for their healthy appetites! It can be worrying, however, when they eat something they shouldn’t. This is what happened when Timmy, a ten-month-old Golden Retriever, became unwell. We spoke to Adam King, Timmy’s owner, about how his pet became ill, and what he was able to do about it. Unwelcome homecoming Adam […]

Dog owners know how special their furry friends are. They’re a real member of the family, so it can be difficult seeing them become ill or get injured. We recently spoke to Denise and Ian Mellows about their dog, Alfie, a seven-year-old English Springer Spaniel, who suffered an injury to his leg while chasing his […]

Dog owners know how much our canine companions become a real part of the family. This was definitely the case with Tiny the Yorkshire Terrier, who held a special place in the Smith family. The dog was taken in by Terry and Anne Smith’s niece, who had found her mistreated and nervous, before being adopted […]
